A bipartisan coalition of U.S. senators have filed a bill to protect banks from being punished for providing financial services to marijuana businesses.The Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking (SAFE) Act is intended to ease the cannabis industry’s access to financial services, which have been difficult to obtain for some businesses in the sector under ongoing federal prohibition.Led by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and cosponsored by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Steve Daines (R-MT), the newly refiled measure comes days ahead of the start of a hearing on the Trump administration’s move to reschedule marijuana under federal law.Earlier iterations of the banking legislation have been introduced in past sessions of Congress, and while versions have been approved by the House of Representatives on several occasions, the reform has never been enacted into law.The Senate Banking Committee approved a cannabis banking measure in 2023 but it was not subsequently taken up on the floor and died at the end of the 118th Congress.Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who currently chairs the banking panel, said last month that the fact that marijuana remains illegal at the federal level while more states legalize it has created a “quandary” for cannabis businesses and banks that wish to serve them.Even though Scott has opposed the cannabis banking reform in the past, he said that the bill would “allow for the banking question to be solved by making it legal to bank it,” Scott said. “What you don’t want is to have a situation where you have these cash rooms where you have hundreds of thousands of dollars cash sitting in a location. Everyone knows you can’t bank it and therefore the criminal activity is much higher in these places.”>https://www.marijuanamoment.net/bipartisan-senators-file-marijuana-banking-bill-as-trumps-rescheduling-move-advances/
Lotta money in this shit
i always knew holding all my assets in weed would be better than fiat
>>537788379No one should STILL be in prison just for using marijuana
I don't know how the fuck it's not legal yet federally. What on earth are they waiting for?
>>537788713they make more money with it being illegal
>>537788517if it is illegal in their state , as the end user , they are complicit in the trafficking; you nigger.
>>537788379Uh oh alcohol industry bros
Dispensaries>modern clean stores >friendly staff, usually white>shelves loaded with locally produced brands>constantly giving away freebiesLiquor stores>dumpy corner stores>run by a jeet and his family (they live there too)>only sells national brands>only offer discounts on booze thats near expirationEnjoy today's weed buying experience because its only a matter of time before it changes
>>537788379based
>>537788435This. Invest now. Billions are about to move into banks.
>>537788379hehanyone else remember when stories of Trump messing with the scheduling of it started circulating, and miggers here were convinced it meant he was going to undo state level legalizations?not one of them running their jewish cockholes nowseethe faggots
>>537789748Nope. Personal use rights trump unconstitutional laws. Even the supreme court ruled you cant take rights away from weed smokers
>>537790030Honestly as someone in a legal state, I've noticed the quality of the weed buying experience markedly declining. Little in the way of freebies or even customer service, mostly it's just order your weed online or on a kiosk and pick it up at the counter.
>>537790751the customer service is still fine but the "sales" just reduce the price to the initial prices the legal dispensaries had, lolthey unbdercut the shit out of the street market the first year+ or so, then once that significantly declined, prices started going upit's still not TERRIBLE now but definitively more expensive than it was
>>537790868*here
>>537790159I don't remember that. I remember people saying Zion Don is going to try and sell weed through TrumpRX which I'm still putting money on
>>537791014>I don't remember that.that's okay, I do
>>537788379>the fact that marijuana remains illegal at the federal level while more states legalize it has created a “quandary” for cannabis businesses and banks that wish to serve them.Why do the feds even have a say in this? Think of how many problems we have that we wouldn't even need laws like this for if the feds just fucked off to the duties and powers they actually are legally granted in the constitution. It should be a state matter, or the states just leaving it up to the people. There is no rational argument for the feds banning it, especially since the recent ruling that they had no authority to even ban personal alcohol distillation over a century ago.
>>537790751>>537790868Because every legal state has been raising taxes on it more and more to the point it's strangling the industry, just to have more money to pocket and/or create a case for their argument "see? It's not as profitable like we were promised, so we should just ban it again! If it was, we would have money for a bunch of things we still don't have money for! ;)"
>>537788379Form their own banks.The majority of American and World Banks dont have Cash or gold. They are just debt overseers to make sure we can pay our debts to the pentagon and its illegal wars like the unconsitutional war on drugs, which is a violation of every single amendment, its the reason why the Pentagon abandoned all oaths of office so it can serve the Rothschilds and the Big Banks\Pharma.Donald Trump and the Pentagton are trying to destroy the Specie of a nation. That is an act of war in an of itself, telling a people it cannot mint its own pennies because the Epstein Class devalued the currency.We need banks with actual money in them. The Fed is 100% foreign owned because it passes healthcare laws without reading the bills, they didnt even need to write, just get paid to create Wars on Drugs.The Pentagon is run by the most unAmerican people on this planet. You cannot hate America more than a US General, because the Rothschilds control every aspect of American life, and we the people are all blackmailed by own own government, and the doj ignores the brady act because the doj works for the city of london. Always has.America needs a legal system that is run by Americans, not by Rothschild and people who call thsmselves Jews but ignore the prophets for their own personal and political gain.Thank you United States Military for continuing on the War on Drugs that never had any American Citizen representation, now all American Citizens are guilty criminals until the City of London and Pentagon decides who lives in a for profit prison and who doesn't.No one should honor any deals w America until its Military is dissolved until a more American Military can replace it.Honestly, the marijuana and cash people should start their own banks at this point. There are enough armed vets who are upset with Rothschild laws that will protect the more local banks than the banks that have no cash but only remind the people they are enslaved in debt.
>>537790868It's still dirt cheap in MichiganNothing beats the dollar-per-fun of a 200mg bag of gummies for like $4
>>537791421I should have noted that despite that, the places are always, always busythe last one I went to had 17 (seventeen) fucking registers about 12 of which were manned at the timeline was easily a football field long, wrapped around inside the place
>>537788379Jews have too much money locked up in (federally) illegal drug trade and need approval to launder it into legitimate (lol, aka jewish) banks.
>>537791707Apparently we need to shift to a war economy, which means, only pills that need 3 layers of medical certifications to pay for, and all of the taxes and fees in between. Cant shop around, because even though legal medical Pharmakia need to add on their fees for dispensing the medication. Not to mention the Affordable Health Care act which was passed with a made up deadline, didnt affect congress unless they had financial dealings with the health insurance companies, then the people get forced subsidies if they want to purchase health insurance below "market value" or income appropriate pricing. There was a tax which was rescinded, but the subsidy still must be paid by the taxpayer.So the War on Drugs placed 3 or 4 gatekeepers between medicines that marijuana and a proper diet, exercise, friends, and Orthodox faith, i.e. constant exorcisms to help deal with the instanity caused by the stress of the buerocracy. Does the taxpayer bill the government for time spent dealing with all these middlemen and forms, which are poiintless with a Panopticon that sees in our homes with wifi and build datacenters to create llms with the data among more crimes that are legal because of the corporate grey area which harvests data and forces us to pay for it with non urban datacenters, tower building age is dead, now its all about squeezing blood from the people, May God Bless our Vampiric Overlords and Pentagon which bows down and worships at their feet.
>>537788713Oy vey that takes time and energy away from solving problems that Jewish people crea- erm, face!
>>537789748Alright fuck off now granny
>>537790751>>537790868>>537791421Depends heavily on the state.California has somehow manipulated their legal weed market to the point where legal is more expensive than illegal grass. Other states have the opposite situation, I'm paying $10 for an 8th of Sour Diesel or AK47. We've got nearly 1970s prices on weed because the state made it easy to be and stay legal.
