What amazes me, is that they act surprised by the news...
Comparing it to prohibition is spot on. Organized crime became rampant during prohibition... the Mexican drug cartels are simply supplying a demand. When the supply becomes legal, organized crime can no longer compete. In addition, the medical users that I know want a quality product without dangerous chemicals and pesticides... The stuff from Mexico? You'd be better off smoking a battery.

Since banks still don't know what the Fed policy is, they don't take pot money, even if it is legal locally for fear of getting their assets seized by the gov.

It's certainly about time!!
The ridiculous "Reefer Madness" craze is soooooo yesterday.
I just wanted to S/F you and comment that I see hope down the line, before the mods close the thread.
Keep the conversation on Prohibition, and not what is being prohibited and it should technically be fine, I requested mods to look over the thread already.

This is no longer true in Colorado.
Governor passed a law allowing banks to create loans for recreational MJ shops in certain CO counties (not Weld or Arapaho). And that no financial transaction can be voided due to legal substance sales. I do not know if this has happened in WA yet.
God Bless,
