Cali tax pros

[powerage]

I have a question about the state tax law. I'm looking to move out of my area, and this is a factor. I'm either going to Melbourne, FL, Cali, or Nevada.

I have major back problems, including sciatica, and weed works better than any pill I was prescribed.

If you have a medical marijauna card, can you take a deduction, if you itemize your deductions?

Tax pros in other states where medical weed is legal, feel free to reply.

Thanks.

Not on the federal return. The states may allow it.

Yea, I know not on federal, but I would be tempted. I might think about doing it on my personal return, if I ever itemize.

CA allows the deduction on the state return. Heck, pot may be legal here soon for non medicinal use!
