Marijuana Ranch Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Twenty states plus the District of Columbia now allow sales of medicinal marijuana, allowing pot prescriptions to treat pretty much any malady, from a headache to a hangnail. Colorado and Washington have legalized the drug for recreational use, too. Yet federal law still prohibits the possession, use and sale of marijuana for any reason. This dichotomy explains why some banks are reluctant to accept the large amounts of cash that pot purveyors generate -- even if the cash is legal under state law. To redress this, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has promised to issue guidelines to make it easier for marijuana sellers who are operating in accordance with their state laws to use the banking system. Large amounts of cash “just kind of lying around with no place for it to be appropriately deposited,” Holder mused, “is something that would worry me, from a law enforcement perspective.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-02/eric-holder-s-pot-problem.html?cmpid=yhoo.view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solabeirtan Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I believe his real problem is with his accounting practices. Esp from "a law enforcement position". In the Fast and Furious debacle his offices were at a loss to explain what happened to thousands of firearms they had given to their counterparts: the Mexican Cartels. Apparently they just "walked" away. We can be assured that their true cost is measured daily in the death tolls produced by our Treasury Depts Investments and our Judiciary Depts spontaneously acquired myopia.
