Three of the four Grateful Dead-performed songs had earlier live debuts: "Comes a Time" (1971), "They Love Each Other" (1973) and "It Must Have Been the Roses" (1974); "Might as Well" entered their rotation in 1976, and "Mission in the Rain" received a select few performances that same year.

Key Senate Committee Says Federal Law Blocks Marijuana And Psychedelics Research Due To Schedule I Restrictions

Marijuana moment

A Senate committee has approved a spending bill report that contains sections encouraging the expansion of federally supported research into marijuana and psychedelics, while also expressing concerns about barriers to studies that result from the substances’ ongoing Schedule I designations. The panel further noted that scientists face “limited access to sources” of cannabis, suggesting that they should be able to study the actual products consumers are purchasing from state-legal dispensaries.

The Senate Appropriations Committee passed the legislation—which covers Fiscal Year 2024 funding for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies—and its attached report language last Thursday, advancing it to the floor.

In addition to the research-focused drug policy sections of the report, there’s also language in the underlying bill that prohibits the use of federal funds “for any activity that promotes the legalization of any drug or other substance included in schedule I” under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), unless there’s “significant medical evidence of a therapeutic advantage.”

2. Small marijuana businesses take advantage of purported 280E loophole

MJ Biz

A growing number of marijuana businesses are taking advantage of a tax strategy that might reduce the costly financial burden imposed by Section 280E of the federal tax code.

Small businesses with a gross income of less than $27 million are able to deduct expenses to a “near-legal” degree, according to accountants specializing in cannabis.

By one estimate, marijuana companies paid nearly $2 billion more in federal taxes than mainstream businesses.

But not all certified public accountants are on board with using the relatively new tax strategy, and they warn cannabis entrepreneurs that using it could be risky.

Section 280E currently prevents plant-touching companies from deducting many traditional business expenses because marijuana remains a Schedule 1 substance and illegal under federal law.

In recent years, a growing number of accountants and professionals specializing in cannabis discovered a small business provision within 2017’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The provision, called Section 471(c), was designed to simplify accounting for inventory and cost of goods sold (COGS) for businesses with less than $25 million in gross income.

“For example, if a business wants to include 100% of its facility costs in its inventory calculation, it could do that if it is based on the company’s books and records,” said Justin Botillier, the founder and CEO of Oregon-based accounting firm Calyx CPA.

In other words, a cannabis retailer could include expenses associated with renting a storage facility for inventory in its cost of goods sold.

For some businesses, the tax savings from including such expenses under inventory costs can be significant.

“We can get taxes down to near-legal levels,” Botillier said in an interview with MJBizDaily.

According to Richards, costs disallowed under Section 280E do not “disappear” – they just cannot be deducted under the old accounting methods.

But under Section 471(c), the limitations of the old accounting methods no longer apply and some of the costs can be recognized as COGS.

This creates the possibility of recapturing costs that were previously disallowed under 280E before the use of the 471(c) method.

But while a growing number of CPAs are using it, there are still a number of accountants who won’t use 471(c), arguing that 280E disallows any kind of deduction and could invite audits.

3. Automatic expungement, no fake weed: 5 ways Minnesota’s legalization could be a national model

1. Possession, consumption, and home grow are all legal Starting today, adults 21 and over are able to have up to two ounces of cannabis flower, eight grams of concentrates, and 800 milligrams of THC edibles in public. Those will also be purchase limits at adult-use dispensaries.

The limit for flower possession at a private home is two pounds. Adults can also opt to grow their own cannabis at home; each household is allowed eight plants, four of which can be flowering at any given time.

Plants must be in an enclosed, secure area that is out of public view. Rep. Hanson said this decision was made to deter crime.

b. Defining where you can consume may be tough

The cannabis bill (HF100) in Minnesota effectively makes public consumption legal—but there are a few exceptions.

First off, smoking marijuana is not permitted in multi-family dwellings. This means people in apartment buildings or similar properties may have to leave their property if they want to smoke or dab. Eating edibles or drinking THC drinks, however, is acceptable.

Smoking in vehicles is also banned as is driving under the influence of cannabis.

C. Cannabis sales are currently limited to tribal dispensaries

While adults may be able to have cannabis as of August 1, it may be difficult for them to get it. It could be early 2025 before dispensaries open, as the state takes time to flush out the licensure process and regulations.

However, Indigenous tribes in Minnesota have been given a head start and may opt to open adult-use dispensaries essentially as soon as they’d like. So far, two tribes in the northwestern part of the state have decided to take advantage.

D. Automatic expungement of criminal records starts immediately

Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will begin automatic expungement of lower-level cannabis convictions right away. Over 60,000 Minnesotans may be eligible, but officials believe it may take up to a year to clear the backlog.

“No state has made it automatic,” Rep. Hanson explained. Every state has made their people petition to get their expungements done, which we didn’t feel like that was right. That’s going to completely free up the lives of so many people.”

Felony convictions may take a bit more work to erase from individual records. A Cannabis Expungement Board will soon be formed and will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

E. Synthetic cannabinoids are banned

Products containing synthesized cannabinoids like HHC and THC-O were outlawed when Governor Walz signed Minnesota’s recreational marijuana bill into law earlier this summer. However, they continue to be sold in smoke shops and hemp dispensaries across the state.

According to Carol Moss, an attorney and partner at Hellmuth & Johnson, that will likely change this fall. All hemp businesses must register with the state by October 1st. Moss believes that a crackdown could come soon after.

“There’s still issues with enforcement—I expect there will be more once the state knows who’s selling it,” Moss told GreenState via text.
