• Who gets to “write off” coffee? You can’t deduct food as business expenses.

    Also, pot is an intoxicant. You’re being stoned, or drunk, at work is usually frowned upon.

    The comparison to coffee is disingenuous. It’s like comparing coffee to chocolate - chocolate has stimulants in it, but only an idiot would compare the amount of chemical effect to that of a more powerful stimulant like caffeine.

    If your job is reviewing weed, sure.

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

    I mean, writing off coffee for work already sounds pretty risky lol

    Though now I want the opposite, if someone has a start up that will provide me free edibles at the office HMU lol

      The startups that give you drugs aren’t worth it. At absolute best it’s a work hard play hard culture.

    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?
