Banks are prejudiced against medical marijuana dispensaries and workers in the adult entertainment industry.

DEA (Drug enforcement agency) which is under federal control routinely robs medical marijuana dispensaries also, confiscating all the cash they have on hand, which never makes it into the evidence bin and instead ends up in the pockets of the DEA.

There is a strange conflict between state level gov which legalize medical marijuana, and the federal government which operates the DEA and uses it as a tool to rob and harass medical marijuana retailers

It's not new. Companies dealing with drugs which are legal in one state can only use banks which only operate in that state, not banks operating in all US states.

I'm still surprised that weed shops are having a hard time finding places to operate as banks for them. I would have expected for them to be a lot more support from at least a few people somewhere.

They might be able to operate using Bitcoin, but during market trends like the ones we're experiencing it might be hard for them to find confidence in maintaining any sort of serious stockpile of Bitcoin without selling off fairly quickly and ending up with a bunch of fiat held in an exchange.

Either way, they should look into it. It solves a lot of their financial security issues pretty quickly.
