One major effect of this is that weed stores will be able to use banks and payment processors legally once the regulators catch up.
A lot of them have wiggled around this problem by offering “atms” at the cash register. You pay with a debit card, but it’s not a normal transaction, it’s an ATM withdrawal! I don’t understand how the money is vended to the business, but it keeps it out of the store
Does it actually keep cash out of the store? They might just have to keep track of it at the back of house still.
