Bartering with cannabis?

I live in colorado where as many of you know marijuana is legal to posses up to an oz for anyone 21 and older. It is illegal to sell unless you have a license, but is it illegal to barter with? Also if you are growing the legal limit of plants you get in a loop hole of the 1oz possession limit because if you grow a pound it is fine to have, probably not to on your person in public, is the way the law appears to be written...
any would bartering be considered selling? if i know a butcher and he is willing to accept half an ounce of my homegrown as a trade for some steak, would that be ok? bartering is legal after all, but what about sales tax? if a business barters rather than sell wouldn't that mean that they wouldn't have to pay sales taxes because US dollars are not being traded? it seems like businesses should really take advantage of bartering, i mean why pay taxes on a sale and then buy groceries and pay taxes on that as well if you can just trade your business for your groceries and not pay taxes (or any money for that matter)?

Well I know if you "give" someone marijuana the police can't charge you with selling so maybe it;s the same principle?

As long as you are discrete then yes, it is okay. Even in places where it's not-not viewed as being punishable by the powers that claim to be.

lol well that doesn't matter, the law doesn't make it ok to smoke in public in the same way you can't drink alcohol in a park. hence regulated like alcohol.
also this is about bartering with weed, wtf ok so when the laws kick in will weed bartering be legal

You're not already doing that? Someone's late to the party. People act like weed being legal in Colorado is something new. After the law goes into effect the only difference will be that you won't have to pay the 40 bux for the doctors appointment anymore. IMO the doctors note is still the way to go. I have my medical license with a 48 plant count and is not like a business licensed where you need to apply for it. All you need to do is have a couple buddies list you as their caregiver when they apply for their medical license. The sweet thing about it is that once you're a caregiver you can legally sell to ANYONE with their medical license. The other good thing about being a caregiver is that you pay no taxes! I've been bartering and selling weed tax free for like five years now . In fact its my ONLY job (besides being awesome). Trust me on this one, go pick up a Westword or Kush magazine, find an MMJ doctor near you and schedule an appointment tomorrow! Even if the doctor only gives you like an 18 plant count that should be more than enough to push out a couple bows every month. If you do plan on being a caregiver you may want to also check out the Department of Public Health and Education's website to get familiar with the caregiver rules http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/CDPHE-CHEIS/CBON/1251593017198 . The main thing is just make sure none of your buddies that sign you as the caregiver have debilitating diseases otherwise you actually will be required to care for them (e.g. take them to doctors appointments, bring them meds...) Get with the program buddy
were do you go that doctors only charge $40 in my area its $80-$100 doctors usually charge 80 just for renewals. also 18 plant count? unless you have a special condition, the standard is 6.
finally this really has nothing to do with the subject of bartering legal weed, you can only barter or sell to MMJ patients. i'm talking about bartering marijuana with businesses, most likely small ones who don't employ many people and use most of the money they make to live off of.

ok it turns out in the US that bartering is of course legal but must be recorded as cash at the value of the trade. http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Bartering-Tax-Center
