As a result, a marijuana business operating in Colorado can write off any deductions on the side of their business that grows the marijuana, but can't write off anything on the part where they sell that marijuana to customers. Here's the thing. The marijuana businesses want to pay taxes. If the objective of their industry is legitimacy, that's just a cost of doing business.

Section One: Cost of Health Insurance. The average annual premiums in 2014 are $6,025 for single coverage and $16,834 for family coverage. The average family premium increased 3% in the last year; the average single premium, however, is similar to the value reported in 2013 ($5,884).
The increased cost of health insurance is a central fact in any discussion of health policy and health delivery. Annual premiums reached $18,764 for 2017, up 3 percent from 2015 for an average family coverage with workers on average paying $5,714 towards the cost of their coverage.* For those Americans who are fully-covered, these cost realities affect employers, both large and small, plus the pocket-book impact on ordinary families.
