Cannabis sales taxes collected by the states & local municipalities end up in the economy the same as any other taxes do.

Plus there are the legal wages paid to workers in the legal cannabis industry.

The notion that all $$$ earned by sellers, growers, etc is all being laundered illegally is a fallacy.

“I know what mj does, used to smoke it before the THC got so high. I know precisely what it does to the reasoning and cognitive ability, memory, and everything else.”

Awesome. Since you are so knowledgeble on the subject you can explain how/why cannabis is a better medicine for me than 20+ years of big pharma meds were.

Perhaps you can also explain why my quality of life has immensely improved since I started using cannabis as medicine in 2015. Because you smoked cannabis in the lat 1960’s I know you can explain why I sleep better & lost 75 lbs while using cannabis as medicine.

I look forward to reading your explanations because as you said, “I know what mj does, used to smoke it before the THC got so high. I know precisely what it does to the reasoning and cognitive ability, memory, and everything else.”

as if calling people dopers and potheads was a winning argument.

Maybe the purpose of that 'argument' is to shelter their own fragile psyches against losing their substantial emotional investment in their anti-pot mania.

>>the blame lies with those who pass and support laws to prevent banks from handling weed money.

Yah, like dude - that's sooo intolerant!

Must be enormously frustrating for the "Cultural" Marx Banksters to have all that cash buried / locked so "repressively" beyond the reach of their fractional rainbow tenticles.

I just got back from a two week road trip. (very eye opening as to the state of the country)

I was in Oregon driving the coast and needed to get gas as I knew I wouldn't make it through the next stretch. The small town I was in had zero gas stations and two pot dispensaries.

We stayed at a La Quinta in Portland, outside the airport, and you had to sign a waiver that you were not a smoker and would be fined $250 if they could smell smoke.

We walked into the room and were hot with an overpowering smell of pot.

We had to go down to the front desk and tell them. The manager walked in and was like, "Oh yeah, that's pot". So, they had to switch our room.

Not once but twice my husband walked into the bathroom a people were doing heroin. 1. 1st time outside of Portland in a fast food restaurant and the guy didn't latch the door and 2. The second time we were in Marin Country California, we stopped to get a hotel room and he went into Carl Jrs. to go to the bathroom and two guys came in. One guy went in the stall to "set up" while the other guy paced around the bathroom.

Then we checked reviews on Yelp and they all referenced drugs, police, shady people in and out, police--and these were basic chain hotels IN MARIN COUNTY.

The country is a frikkng disaster. I could write more but I'll keep it limited to the topic of this thread.

I know of no reason to think state-legal weed sellers would seek out "cultural" Marx bankers to deposit their profits with ... nor, for that matter, how they would identify such bankers if they did wish to seek them out.

Were you working toward some kind of coherent point with this discussion - or just free-associating?

Lol.

Burying all that cash must be sooo enormously economical.

Banks?

Are you claiming all banks are "cultural" Marx banks? If so, provide a reason to believe that; if not, shame on you for your deceptive omission.

Or maybe you are simply unable to shut up. Sad.

To what degree would Cultural Marxism be facilitated if MarxBanksters had all that weed cash flowing though their fractional tentacles?

That’s probably be as easy as finding their booths at the pride parades they so proudly sponsor.
