    I have no idea how the the dispensary rules are, or whether they can store money in a federally insured bank.

    In Canada, the feds are very much in control of the "approved"
    dispensaries. Every purchase is tracked and must be accounted for.

    I'm sure the Feds would like to collect money from it, but it is considered
    at the federal level an illegal controleed substance. It's legal at the sate level because individual states reserve certain rights

    the irs will end up getting your ass, too.

    you cant have the nice things in life unless you clean that money somehow.

    i guess they are required to pay federal tax, but many banks wont take them.

    i know a guy with a vape shop that got some cbd stuff. his bank dropped him and he had to fight to get his money from them. they dropped him with notice or warning. just one day no workie.

    Seems illogical to allow the vape or cbd biz, but not facilitate payments
    to irs, banks, etc. with cash. Is it the smell?

    Ah... this is probably the crux of the matter: "the IRS would still prefer
    to be paid by check, credit card, or electronic deposit, "rather than with bags of cash smelling of weed.""
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Maybe the IRS should simply launder the money to clean it up, literally! LOL.

    i think that was the owner of the weed dispensary talking.
    it costs a lot of money to process cash. the irs spent tons. the company they used to handle it got paid a lot.

    banks are selective and they dont want to deal with the bullshit because they dont have to. what if the guy starts off with weed and then starts making deals and selling other shit and putting the money from THAT stuff into the bank. and then the feds seize it.

    I think that is a bit of a slippery slope.

    Just because you are dealing beer does not mean you are going to start dealing illegal whiskey you distilled in your cellar.

    But yeah I can see bankings trying to stay clear from controversial money sources.

    take the risk, which i understand.
