Introduction Disclaimer: This post is not investment advice. U.S. cannabis is a large, fragmented, state-by-state consumer and healthcare-adjacent market with unusually “legal-but-illegal” federal risk. In 2025, U.S. regulated cannabis sales (adult-use + medical) were $31.5B (adult-use $23.9B, medical $7.6B) with $39.1B forecast by 2029, per BDSA–sourced estimates.

The practical implication of §280E is blunt: most operating expenses don’t reduce federal taxable income, so the bookkeeping system must be built to (a) correctly compute gross …
Introduction U.S. cannabis accounting is hard for one main reason: federal taxes treat state-legal cannabis as Schedule I trafficking, so IRC §280E blocks ordinary deductions and credits, leaving COGS as the primary path to reduce federal taxable income. That single constraint drives most of the industry-specific accounting practices: Federal tax rules IRC §280E denies deductions/credits …
Introduction Federal cannabis taxation is still dominated by IRC §280E, which denies deductions and credits for amounts paid or incurred in a trade or business that “consists of trafficking” in a Schedule I or II controlled substance prohibited by federal law (and by the law of the state where conducted).
