Welcome to Wikipedia
Regarding your recent edit to the article on taxation, I see no support for the idea that 26 USC section 280E has been "repealed." You may be thinking of reports like this one:

The report does not state that section 280E has been "repealed." Further, this is a federal statute. It can be repealed only by an Act of Congress. Famspear (talk) 04:46, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Note: As of September 18, 2013, section 280E had not been repealed. If you have some information that relates to an Act of Congress since September 18, 2013 that might have repealed section 280E, please provide that information. Famspear (talk) 04:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I added some additional citations to the article.


 * Many years ago, I was a member of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws. I argue that marijuana should be legalized by the U.S. Congress, so the whole issue of section 280E would go away for businesses that sell marijuana. Alternatively, the Congress could amend section 280E so that it would not apply to businesses making legal sales of marijuana under a state law, such as the law in Colorado. I don't use marijuana, but the current state laws making its sale and use a crime in many places are nonsensical, in my view. Famspear (talk) 05:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
