Determination of Medical Marijuana Expenses
I take notice of the fact that medical marijuana users are in a difficult position with regards to the sourcing of their supply due to the lack of a new system for marijuana. I take further notice that the current system leaves users in a regulatory hole with many suppliers operating in a “grey zone”.
I can easily deal with whether or not the Applicant should be entitled to BOTH the expenses related to growing marijuana and the expenses related to acquiring marijuana. The simple answer to this question is ‘no’. Only one expense or the other should be allowed. Common sense tells us that to pay for both is a duplication: a user needs only one or the other. Once the basic source of supply of marijuana is assured (by either growing or purchasing), an Applicant’s decision to engage in the alternate mode becomes a personal choice rather than a necessity. It is not reasonable and necessary that the Applicant should have both modes available to her.
