U.S. House Votes to Allow Banks to Accept Deposits from Marijuana Stores and Dispensaries

9. I wonder what the sausage will look like

after it's gone through the mill.

This is what's so disgusting about American politics. A hemp amendment gets tacked on to an ag. bill - a bill that harms the poor - but it passes because the Republicans want to cut x or y.

The banking for marijuana gets included in a bill that sets us up for another financial sector implosion - but it passes because the Republicans want to deregulate/defund regulation.

If they were going to pass the bill anyway, at least something gets under the wire - and, of course, the hemp bill was supported by McConnell because of the state ag. money it will bring to the states (his included) grandfathered into the amendment.

The only way to deal with any cannabis issue with Republicans is to make it about money - or to make parents angry... but even with the passage of CBD-only mmj laws - the laws are not being implemented b/c of all the federal barriers and fears from doctors that they will lose their licenses, or availability isn't there... so people in states with new mmj should keep an eye on whether or not those laws were just salves to angry parents - who still need to look elsewhere or move elsewhere so far.
