It was mentioned in the article but from what I understand it’s a cash business. They can’t open bank accounts because it’s still a federal crime. I heard a guy years ago on NPR say that 20% of his time and money going to moving and storing cash.

I actually went in to a dispensary a few days ago and there were at least 12 people. I’m pretty sure I was the youngest customer there.
