    They are a middle man between my bank and the store in purchasing from, nothing more. They shouldn’t stop anything unless it’s theft.

      While I get your sentiment, this announcement comes months before GOP primaries start. As a business, you don’t want to be on the chopping block when the extremists accuse you of drug peddling. A Trump, DeSantis, or similar presidency won’t care about facts.

      Edit: if this has 5 downvotes 2 minutes after I comment, it’s my stalker. Idk what to do about it either

        Maybe Biden can… Who the fuck am I kidding. Presidents will ride the “maybe I’ll legalize” train for decades to come. I’m shocked the giant tax revenue called legal green isn’t incentive enough.

    It’s your money until banks financial institutions tell you it’s not.

      Yes I’m sure the states allowing cannabis sales would love for dispensaries to start taking untraceable money. That ought to be super easy to figure out on their AML reporting

    I’m all for making cash great again. Better than it getting accepted in less and less places. I hope they will also do the same for other, more popular things.

        The weed bullshit in this world is overblown.

        Every person I’ve ever know who uses weed has been a classic druggie.

        And every person I’ve met with a “medical” marijuanna card are druggies.

        Druggies are pathetic losers especially weed lovers. Yes weed has its place medically in some situations however, that’s not the reality of most everyone going in a weed shop.

        And the folks using anxiety as a reason to use weed daily are the biggest piece of shit the world has known.
