Banks in California and Colorado have been reluctant to work with medical cannabis providers for fear of violating drug trafficking laws. Meanwhile, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime says that systematic laundering of more than $350B in cartel profits helped to keep the economy afloat when the shit was hitting the fan in 2007. Exactly whose money should these banks be handling?

i have 2 friends that are bank loan officers at 2 different bank, one is a muckity muck in the bank and they both looked over my business plans and said that its a solid business plan and is a sure thing to be sustainable, and then denied the loan. they even told me if i peeled off the caregiver part and jst applied for the loan for my other business model, i would have a chance.. simply, the banks wont fuck with the feds, Key bank put out a memo, one of my friends showed me, that specificaly dealt with mmj and said do not do it..

Yeah, I know. I was ticked last time because I missed it. Mind you, I was a very interested individual and watched the papers and the DHHS website for announcement of said hearing, it never came. Next thing you know, there's a news story about the hearing that was held in Augusta.

If anyone hears of a public hearing on this, or for that matter anything to do with MMJ, could you please post the date and time. I am only 20 minutes away, and would love to get involved more with this direction. Thanks in advance

Nope. Dont have to have it pre built,they just want to make sure you have security in mind and people dont walk into your grow room as soon as you open your front door.

That doesn't seem like a legal reason to deny the application. They should change the application if they aren't accepting employees.

Non-cultivation felonies. I know a couple people with cultivation felonies that have caregiver cards.

Is becoming a care giver pretty simple? as in getting approved by the state? If you fill out the application and send the money etc etc.. do they deny a lot of people, I have no felony charges, no drug charges, if they don't grant you a care givers license do they refund your money. also do most people just start off as being a (1) patient caregiver for $300 then when they find others they just add more? new to all this any information would be great, thanks 207
