Banking for Cannabis
Managing Cash
The colossal problem of managing a business in a cash-only industry brings unique challenges. Federal prohibition of cannabis prevents businesses from: banking, buying insurance, and offering employee pension plans.. There is some allowance to permit state banking regulation for cannabis businesses, however. The rules are burdensome and strict, therefore, banks grapple with imposing disincentives. The ultimate result – this leaves businesses with cash on-hand; making paying bills and renting difficult. How do does a business manage an all cash existence?
Electronic Checking for Cannabis
Now there is a solution for the cannabis industry – which is restricted from normal banking privileges due to federal prohibition. An electronic checking account for cannabis business owners provides legitimate financial transactions to make deposits and get cash on-hand out of their businesses, and into the bank; it permits these companies to pay taxes with wire transfers instead of appearing at an IRS office with large sums of cash; it allows for leasing heavy, expensive harvesting equipment from sellers who do not lease for cash.. For these, and many other reasons, a workable electronic checking account is THE solution for cannabis businesses that is so desperately needed!

Traveling with Cannabis
Larry Mishkin is Counsel to the Hoban Law Group, and he also has a private practice. Traveling with cannabis is a legal matter. Crossing state lines is forbidden, regardless of patient status and authorization. Attorneys advise that one should not travel with marijuana, but as it is, some people do it anyway. How is this dilemma playing out in airports and other modes of travel?
