His Sonshine: Good for the banks. If the proper authority refuses to enforce marijuana laws, then I guess the banks are doing us a favor.

/I was in Denver last month visiting family and there was a girl in a bikini holding a marijuana sign pointing to a business that sells marijuana. We saw these stores all over. No cops around or anything.

Yeah, cause it's legal here. Go back to whatever red state shiatbox you come from and take your kin with you. We don't need or want you here, we're fine without your authoritarian ignorance.

Because financial companies don't want anything to do with illegal transactions.

That they can get caught on.

Financial institutions - the last bastion of morality in this country.


Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa.... sniff... Hahahahahaaaaaaaaa

Vlad_the_Inaner: Now the next question is can other, less official, tokens also be bought using credit cards if such tokens could be exchanged for product.

I wonder how many of them accept Bitcoin.

Not a problem for some:

I heard from a guy who knows a friend that as long as they run the charge at 4:20 pm every day, all the transactions go through. Some stoner glitch or something. I tried it too, it works.

Ow! That was my feelings!: bsharitt: All the Republicans who cry out for "states' rights" on issues like health care and gay marriage support the feds backing down over medical marijuana and allowing states to control it themselves, right?

Actually, in Colorado anyway, some Repubs are pro-herb legalization. Not the evangelicals(no surprise) or tea partiers(kinda surprising, hypocritical).

We run a bit more on the libertarian side out here. Had some DEA guy show up at our town council meeting and give us a lecture about all the trouble we could get into with the federal government if the town granted a permit to a medical marijuana dispensary. The local cops told him point blank if the DEA planned on raiding it, bring a tank, because the SWAT team would be called in to deal with the abuse of federal government powers.

As if the federal government would ever prosecute a financial institution. Yeah, right.
