This document discusses the challenges that marijuana businesses face with banking due to conflicting state and federal laws regarding cannabis. While some states have legalized marijuana, it remains illegal at the federal level, so banks that follow federal regulations cannot accept funds from cannabis companies. As a result, 70% of cannabis businesses do not have a bank account and must operate entirely in cash. The document outlines proposals for cannabis-focused banking solutions and explores whether requiring businesses to pay penalties or launder money is ethical given the current situation. It concludes that strictly regulating the industry increases safety risks and that both federal legalization and expanded banking access would help address these issues.
