After more then two weeks in Haarlem it feels good to be back in Alora, Spain. My trip to Holland was meant to attend the monthly meeting of the BCD, the Coffeeshopowners Union. These meetings are more important then ever, it seems like our medieval-minded government is out to get us out of business, in any which way they can. One of our governments instruments to get us on our knees is the Tax-bureau, their employees just accuse basicly all of us of being frauds, by rejecting our administrations. The BCD meeting invited three lawyers to the last meeting, two of them experts in tax-law, the other the Union’s defense lawyer. All in all the meeting was very useful, most of us had quetions about how to adminstrate best, how to or not book stash expenses and other topics. The joined lawyers are going to make up a clear advice on how to administrate the books of coffeeshops, based on their experience in courtcases about similar conflicts. Our major problem in administrating would be solved if we were allowed to have licensed growers to work with, so we would get receipts after buying cannabis. Now, it seems like the tax money we are paying over our cannabis sales is being used to finance the police officers that hunt and close down our growers. Feels like sponsoring my own downfall….
