Jim: One great effect of this might be in allowing dispensaries to accept credit cards instead of the current cash only model. That cash only model opens the door to abuses and robberies which endanger the people working there.

Why do national media outlets think Americans care more about college protests than this?

Biden administration plans to reclassify marijuana, easing restrictions nationwidewww.nbcnews.com Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The administration is expected to reschedule it into a category that includes Tylenol and steroids.

Yes! When I did labor inspections at dispensaries it was insane the amount of locks and security they had because of all the armed robberies

Yes. I've had several nice chats with people running my dispensary (including one who I taught high school biology and chemistry to) and I hate to see them in danger like that.

One dispensary was handling over $15,000 in cash a day. Of course they’re gonna be targets 😳

I went into one with a friend and they reminded me of banks in so many ways, the cash handling is probably a huge reason why!

Robbing the weed guy has a long pedigree. No reason to imagine it would be less appealing once everyone knows where the weed guy is because he has a huge sign.

In LA they have ATM functionality, but if your amount isn’t exact they round up to the nearest 20 and give you change in cash.

Does that mean you are paying with your debit card? In VA they have an ATM on site (with a fee for withdrawals) so you can give them the cash.

Yes, they have the debit readers right at the window at LA Cannabis or at the counter at other places.

BTW, thanks for the reply. I hope the rest of the country catches up with Cali some day.

No problem! Virginia does have Lamb of God though.

What kind of scientist are you?

Chemistry, neurosciences, and pharmacology. I was research faculty in a med school until I decided to leave and teach high school science so my wife and I would have more in common.
