Can You Write Off Medical Marijuana?
Short answer: No, marijuana is federally illegal, so it's not a deductible medical expense even with a state card.
This applies even where state law allows medical use.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
