Not sure how this will shake out but........US SAFE Banking pot bill specifically cuts Canada out of the deal from BNN and Kosh. Protectionist to the core. Not a lot of US investors yet that I can tell so not many investors to lobby their politicians. Wonder how that would work if we got sold to a big US MSO????. I had high hopes that the US would take a page from Canada and fix all of the stupid shyt that Canadian's strangled our pot companies with. How long will it take to sort out for the sake of world investors.
Not having banking is strangling the US pot industry. Can you imagine not being able to flip your card for pot purchases and all of that cash getting packed around like Cartel drug dealers, and having to go to the street for dollars because you can't get loans from banks for fear of the Feds coming down on you! And then there is the fearmongering and prejudice to Canadian companies in an attempt to keep out International interests.
I wonder what Canopy Growth's response is going to be as a world leading marijuana and hemp company with a deal struck to take over a US MSO Acreage Holdings ?
Only politicians and lawyers can screw up something this simple.
