Allow home grows!!! Pass banking regulations so they don't have to hoard cash on location. Over regulations has created this environment.

Can the latter be done at a state level? Given most banks operate across state lines, it seems like that's a federal issue which should also have been dealt with, but generally speaking congress doesn't really do anything of value these days.

There are banks that are in-state only, but the FDIC insurance would drop them, so it’s not worth it. Congress needs to act. Would be a huge boost to the economy, too.

Visa, Mastercard, and the debit card networks are all interstate obviously which means no paying by card. Shops are already able to use a few state chartered banks and credit unions to deposit all that cash into.

When it comes to taking cards it’s not so much over-regulation as the fact that it’s still illegal federally, AFAIK. Allowing home growing could certainly happen if we changed law.

No, a specific attempt to sabotage the sale and possession of weed created this environment.

So if cannabis was regulated like tomatoes you think these scenarios would still exist?

Awful logic.

If guns were illegal you think these scenarios would still exist?

If they hired private security you think these scenarios would still exist?

If this were a Christian/Jewish/Insert-Religion-Here country you think these scenarios would still exist?

If poverty weren't systemic you think these scenarios would still exist?

Your question is pointless. It's tangential at best, and doesn't at all establish a causative link.
