The feds were not interested to collect the taxes on it? Interesting.
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.
office complex to perform his sales out of. He could've worked from home, but didn't want the wierd or sketchy customers coming around his family at home. There were stories going around about dealers getting robbed, and he didn't want to put his family in harms way.

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 sat level because individual states reserve certain rights
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.

if you dont have clean money you cant use it for more than a few things. the irs will end up getting your ass, too.
you cant have the nice things in life unless you clean that money
somehow. ---
dude, the govt always gets paid.
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!

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.
