One major effect of this is that weed stores will be able to use banks and payment processors legally once the regulators catch up.

They have cash-handling processes similar to a casino, but again, they have much less than a casino or bank to take.
Employee theft is a much bigger problem than robbery, because you can imagine who works at them, but even then, it's hard to get away with.
You'd be much better off robbing a busy gas station or the like.
This is lazy thinking.
Any business dealing in cash and desirable inventory will have theft problems. In fact, the inventory doesn’t even have to be desirable. Consider office supply theft. It’s rampant; a cost of business to some degree. And part of the motivation is simply the righting of perceived wrongs.
Employees will always take from their employers, in every industry and at every class level. In industries where there are no “things” to take, the employees simply take back their time.
He’s told me quite a bit of what goes on there, and I am sure different dispensaries are different, but in any state where it is relatively recently legalized and there aren’t that many, it’s just the biggest stoners working there. You would have to be kind of special to decide to steal things with that much security around, they always get caught
Some software engineers do partake of the weed. So yeah I’ve met them.
Tattoos, piercings? They’re just people.
Getting high isn’t a sign of larceny
You might want to be more careful then. This empty space is a well known rhetorical device used to allude that you're making a negative judgement about people.
It was not meant as “all stoners are thieves” but as “you’d have to be high to think that’s a good idea”. And since nearly everyone who works at a dispensary is high all day every day, it happens, a lot more than armed robbery which almost never does.
I don’t know if every state is like mine, but here they have to do complete inventory every night. You can steal but they’ll know it happened by the end of the day and then start checking the footage. It happens.
For instance, Fannie and Freddie don’t recognize your income, so getting a mortgage is difficult.
The pay isn’t that great either, but they get a discount, and for a lot of people weed is one of their bigger expenses.
But no, no data, only anecdotes. Still, I feel like only somebody who has never been in a dispensary would think they are attractive robbery target. I’ve been in them and maybe 10 states, and they are all pretty tight Security, because they know they have a lot of cash and people would like to steal it.
"And since nearly everyone who works at a dispensary is high all day every day,"
Be careful in dealing in generalities and infinitives.by your own logic, your brother is simply an exception that proves a rule.
Your own words have worked harder against you than anything that any of these replies stated.
