The banking restrictions force the business to deal in cash only, no credit card sales or checks, making them attractive targets for robberies, armed or otherwise. Scary
Wish one could get marijuana the same as what was available in the ’60’s and ’70’s. The stuff now smells like skunk spray. If I were to get medical perscription for it, (red state) at least I can eat it and not creat a stink.
No problem for the states and local governments handling all the tax proceeds though. At least MJ legalization has almost completely stemmed the flow of untaxed black market weed bucks out of the country.

Because politicians lack the spine to classify it properly.

For the record: there is no such thing as “medical marijuana”.

It is absolutely amazing how people expect Congress to be able to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. /s

Don’t forget cops knocking over an armored truck carrying proceeds from cannabis dispensaries and stealing all the money.

The problem for states that have made marijuana legal is how to handle the MONEY. That’s what this is implying, and it’s right.
