🤷🏼‍♀️ don’t do drugs. My point is I come to this sub and all that’s posted are beautiful local scenery…. And you dorks whining about weed. I thought we established the obvious: until it’s legal on a federal level it won’t be legal here due to federal banking regulations. It’s been decriminalized here up to a certain amount. If I had my way all this stupid crap would be legal because we don’t need laws to tell us what to do with our own bodies (though I personally think it’s stupid to put that crap in you but my personal views on drugs don’t matter when it comes to the legality of it) but it’s obvious why it isn’t at this point. Stop crying to state officials and start crying to the federal officials. That’s the only way this is going to work.

It’s not banking regulations. Its only a federal banking issue if the state wants to start another monopoly like the alcohol business. I don’t see people whining, I see elected officials constituents coming here to complain because any legalization efforts the last 10 years since we finally sued to get a medical program, has been a slap in the face to the 80% of adults who support legalization. It’s not about “don’t do drugs “ it’s the fact that I can illegally go purchase cannabis in another state, break a federal law by crossing state lines, see no repercussions, but black and brown community members could do the same thing, yet have a 450% better odds of being given a 100$ if you have a “personal amount” or they’re being given court dates, and face the situation of hiring a public attorney vs. a private one and thousands of fucking dollars. You just don’t get how multi faceted this issue is, and if you’re ignorant to the affect the war on drugs has had on minorities, then I don’t care to continue this asinine conversation, how about you stand up for something that’s morally right.

Do you know the difference between credit unions and federal banks and how the differences in system actually allows for mmj banking, or are you ignorant to that as well?
