    If your job is reviewing weed, sure.

    Also, with it’s federal classification, I’d hesitate to create a paper trail.

    I suppose it might be easier in some areas than others. Like, an extreme might be artist vs surgeon. Truck driver is probably right out. Musicians are good. I mean in that same vein could a wine taster, for instance, write off all the wine all the time?

    I’m a self employed handyman and medical cannabis patient. If it weren’t for the medical cannabis, I wouldn’t be able to do my job. Bet your ass I take my pot as a deduction on my schedule c, and I take coffee, and I take lunch. I deduct shit that I have no business deducting, and the only taxes I even pay are to get that sweet, sweet child tax credit.

    Odds are the recently defunded and understaffed IRS has better shit to do than comb through my poorly kept books just to bust me for taking an extra couple grand that maybe I shouldn’t have.
