group made headlines with their recent NASCAR ad and will not stop there. Their next target is the NFL and their policy on testing players for marijuana use. \u00a0An ad was placed outside of Denver&#8217;s Mile High Stadium that read &#8221; Stop Driving Players to Drink. \u00a0A Safer Choice is Now Legal Here.&#8221; \u00a0NFL players have come under harsh criticism for the high number of DUI arrests among them. \u00a0The NFL permits drinking but comes down harsh on players testing positive for marijuana. \u00a0Players are suspended, for multiple games with former Miami Dolphin, Ricky Williams, being one if the most high profile examples of the policy. \u00a0Mason Tvert of MPP feels the NFL &#8216;s stance is contradictory and recently said &#8220;NFL players are being told that they can go out and get completely drunk, but face no punishment from the league, but if a player gets caught using marijuana, they could be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, forced to sit out games and deemed a troublemaker.&#8221;<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailychronic.net\/2013\/25468\/new-mpp-billboard-broncos-stadium-calls-nfl-stop-punishing-players-marijuana\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> For more on this story click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Oregon Reveals Plans for Marijuana Dispensaries&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year Oregon lawmakers passed House Bill 3460, legislation aimed at creating a registry for medical marijuana providers. \u00a0Medical marijuana is already thriving g in Oregon with law enforcement officials estimating that over 100 dispensaries are operating. \u00a0So far there is little to no oversight so the implementation of HB3460 is crucial. \u00a0A committee to oversee the caregivers has been formed and will convene, for the first time on September 20th. \u00a0The committee, formed by \u00a0Tom Burns who also oversees the pharmaceutical industry, is made up of police officers, prosecutors, marijuana lobbyists, lawyers, and dispensary operators. \u00a0The committee expects to implant their rules by January 31, 2014.<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2013\/09\/marijuana_headlines_washington.html\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> For more on this story click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Justice Department Statement Will Not Immediately Solve IRS Problems For Marijuana Industry&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The statements by the Justice Department, last week, indicating they would respect state laws certainly was a boost for many patients and caregivers. \u00a0However, this is only step one. \u00a0Another major obstacle \u00a0to overcome has to do with finance. \u00a0Because of federal pressure, banks will not allow collectives to set up business accounts. \u00a0The result, an untraceable cash business that helps neither the Feds (they can&#8217;t easily follow an electronic paper trail if a dispensary is operating illegally) or collective operators who have to keep cash and marijuana on hand. \u00a0Armed security at dispensaries is also illegal. \u00a0This forces collectives to have a bulls eye on their backs. \u00a0Another issue for dispensary operators is the fact that they cannot deduct normal business expenses that allow other small businesses to keep their doors open. None of this benefits the patient and since prohibition appears dead the IRS should move quickly. \u00a0Of course it is likely they will not.<br \/> <a

group made headlines with their recent NASCAR ad and will not stop there. Their next target is the NFL and their policy on testing players for marijuana use. \u00a0An ad was placed outside of Denver&#8217;s Mile High Stadium that read &#8221; Stop Driving Players to Drink. \u00a0A Safer Choice is Now Legal Here.&#8221; \u00a0NFL players have come under harsh criticism for the high number of DUI arrests among them. \u00a0The NFL permits drinking but comes down harsh on players testing positive for marijuana. \u00a0Players are suspended, for multiple games with former Miami Dolphin, Ricky Williams, being one if the most high profile examples of the policy. \u00a0Mason Tvert of MPP feels the NFL &#8216;s stance is contradictory and recently said &#8220;NFL players are being told that they can go out and get completely drunk, but face no punishment from the league, but if a player gets caught using marijuana, they could be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, forced to sit out games and deemed a troublemaker.&#8221;<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailychronic.net\/2013\/25468\/new-mpp-billboard-broncos-stadium-calls-nfl-stop-punishing-players-marijuana\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> For more on this story click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Oregon Reveals Plans for Marijuana Dispensaries&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year Oregon lawmakers passed House Bill 3460, legislation aimed at creating a registry for medical marijuana providers. \u00a0Medical marijuana is already thriving g in Oregon with law enforcement officials estimating that over 100 dispensaries are operating. \u00a0So far there is little to no oversight so the implementation of HB3460 is crucial. \u00a0A committee to oversee the caregivers has been formed and will convene, for the first time on September 20th. \u00a0The committee, formed by \u00a0Tom Burns who also oversees the pharmaceutical industry, is made up of police officers, prosecutors, marijuana lobbyists, lawyers, and dispensary operators. \u00a0The committee expects to implant their rules by January 31, 2014.<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2013\/09\/marijuana_headlines_washington.html\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> For more on this story click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Justice Department Statement Will Not Immediately Solve IRS Problems For Marijuana Industry&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The statements by the Justice Department, last week, indicating they would respect state laws certainly was a boost for many patients and caregivers. \u00a0However, this is only step one. \u00a0Another major obstacle \u00a0to overcome has to do with finance. \u00a0Because of federal pressure, banks will not allow collectives to set up business accounts. \u00a0The result, an untraceable cash business that helps neither the Feds (they can&#8217;t easily follow an electronic paper trail if a dispensary is operating illegally) or collective operators who have to keep cash and marijuana on hand. \u00a0Armed security at dispensaries is also illegal. \u00a0This forces collectives to have a bulls eye on their backs. \u00a0Another issue for dispensary operators is the fact that they cannot deduct normal business expenses that allow other small businesses to keep their doors open. None of this benefits the patient and since prohibition appears dead the IRS should move quickly. \u00a0Of course it is likely they will not.<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/robertwood\/2013\/09\/04\/new-doj-marijuana-policy-wont-fly-with-irs\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> For more on this story click here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1670,52,760,371,251,1667,1127,457,56,9,51,1091,170,70,1,3,61],"tags":[4238,2632,3333,2949,2829,4235,3697,3031,2636,2631,3661,2748,5,6],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2241"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2241\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
