The American Bankers Association seemed to shy away from celebrating, however. In a statement, it said, "Guidance or regulation doesn't alter the underlying challenge for banks. As it stands, possession or distribution of marijuana violates federal law, and banks that provide support for those activities face the risk of prosecution and assorted sanctions."

Racists! They clearly don't believe in the omnipotent power of The Won.

America 2014: Socialism, dope and homo-marriage.

What a pathetic, degenerate cesspool this country has become. You’d think with America’s grand and great history it would merit a more noble death than this embarrassing and farcical disintegration.

Note that "government" power for the feds to regulate banks is just another wrongly usurped state power. This is evidenced by Thomas Jefferson having noted that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had considered granting Congress such powers, but had dropped the issue.

“A proposition was made to them to authorize Congress to open canals, and an amendatory one to empower them to incorporate. But the whole was rejected, and one of the reasons for rejection urged in debate was, that then they would have a power to erect a bank, which would render the great cities, where there were prejudices and jealousies on the subject, adverse to the reception of the Constitution (emphasis added).” —Jefferson’s Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791.

Marijuana has been a “National Industry” for decades. Only now it’s moving from the black market to being officially recognized....and taxable.

The prohibition against it, and probably some others has been a colossal mistake/failure. It’s just like the prohibition of the 1920s, only worse. This is far from over though. Too many entrenched/monied interests have their livelihoods invested in the prohibition. It runs the entire spectrum from the legal/police state all the way to the drug cartels. All profit from it. You also have include those that desire to use the police power of government to force their moral views on people. The latter doesn’t profit from the prohibition, but it does seem to make them feel better about themselves.
