It has nothing to do with legal cannabis, and the letter writers don’t even try to make a connection. Ludicrously, the letter declares with no evidence that if the law “offered the opportunity to pay in credit, many customers will choose to pay cash to avoid being tracked within state seed-to-sale tracking systems.”įor some reason, the letter also refers to the Black Market Peso Exchange, a money-laundering technique used by global drug cartels. That leads to burglaries and robberies in and around dispensaries, which is the main reason for the SAFE Act. Pot is a “cash business” mostly because banks hesitate to offer services to the industry. The letter’s signatories don’t explain why those regulations wouldn’t work just as well for pot businesses. The “czars” acknowledge that, sort of, this way: “While banks know how much cash to expect from other cash-intensive businesses like dry cleaners or convenience stores, it will be very difficult to figure out when a marijuana dispensary is participating in a money laundering scheme.”īut won’t they know what to expect from dispensaries, etc., after just a few months of working with them? There are regulations in place for monitoring deposits to root out money laundering. And second, the logical conclusion from that paragraph is that cash businesses of all kinds should be disallowed from making deposits, at least in “huge bundles.” Even in this increasingly cashless society, that would include a lot of businesses: gas stations, convenience stores, the taxi industry. But first, there’s nothing in the SAFE Act that would make it easier for anyone to deposit proceeds from illicit activities. “Because cash made from the sale of marijuana looks the same regardless of what it was used to pay for, it will be extremely difficult for banks to know whether large bundles of cash presented for deposit were made from the sale of marijuana rather than from the sale of heroin, fentanyl, or methamphetamine,” says the letter. It warns-with zero basis or genuine explanation-that “drug cartels” will somehow take advantage of the SAFE Act to launder their dirty money.

It’s a wacky little artifact, this letter. Last week, a coven of the federal government’s former “drug czars” (yep, including William Bennett, more on him below) sent a letter to the leaders of the Senate committee that is considering the proposed SAFE Banking Act, which would remove legal liability from banks that want to do business with pot companies in legal states. One wouldn’t know that from watching them, though.

But however much the people who are so weirdly fixated on the free use of the devil’s lettuce might try to stand athwart history yelling “stop hitting that bong!” their arguments have already been soundly rejected.

That doesn’t mean it’s not a problem of course. Moods change from track to track as quickly as they do in the body and range from any flavor deemed fit for the day.Former drug czars oppose removing legal liability from banks that want to do business with pot companies in legal statesĪs states continue to legalize cannabis, and as Congress continues on its excruciatingly slow path toward inevitable legalization, pot prohibitionism seems increasingly quaint and often outright hilarious. Lessons of patience, perception, and my warrior spirit are sonically expressed through tempo, and arrangement, with intent to influence the same sensations to the listener. The collection of groove's act as a timeline of emotion, and self discovery in this new existence.
