How Recreational Pot Is Hurting Medical Marijuana Patients in California
Recreational marijuana is bringing in millions of tax dollars for the state of California, but there are also some downsides. Greg Zeman, associate editor at Cannabis Now, explains how the state's new laws are hurting some medical marijuana patients.
Some medical marijuana companies donate products to non-profits like the Weed For Warriors Project, which gives medical marijuana patients free pot. Due to the state's new tax regulations on weed, companies still have to pay taxes on these donations. 100 pounds of cannabis would cost roughly $50,000 in taxes.
Regulations across the country are holding American businesses back from competing with Canada, according to Zeman. He says Canadian companies are gearing up to take over global pot markets as more countries legalize recreational marijuana. California is the largest producer of cannabis, but federal regulations prevent it from selling to global markets.
