When Will Colorado Dispensaries Finally be Able to Accept Cards?

preview

CanvaSince Colorado legalized the sale, possession, and consumption of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes for adults, dispensaries have been popping up all over the state and have been making vast amounts of revenue.If you’ve been to one of these dispensaries you more than likely had to pay in cash or grab some cash from an ATM beforehand. Because marijuana is still federally illegal, banks and credit card companies will typically not be able to process payments of this nature.Get our free mobile appHowever, a bill that would change all of this has moved one step closer to becoming law.The bill, which was initially introduced roughly a decade ago, is known as the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation Banking Act, or SAFER Banking Act. If passed, the bill would allow dispensaries to accept payments via credit cards, as well as other banking-related things like keeping payroll and deposit accounts.The main reason for the bill is the fact that these dispensaries are forced to have massive amounts of cash on hand, which makes them a target for theft and other criminal activity.On Wednesday, September 27, 2023, the SAFER Banking Act finally moved to the United States Senate after the Senate Banking Committee voted for it to move forward. Prior to this landmark vote, the bill had been sitting stagnant with the committee for roughly five years.However, this is just the first in numerous steps needed to be taken before dispensaries will be allowed to operate like other small businesses as far as financial matters are concerned, as it must now pass the Senate, then the House of Representatives must pass it, after which it will land on the desk of the President.For now, dispensaries will still have to accept cash, or in some rare instances, debit cards, but a solution appears to be on the horizon.Bong-a-Thon, Colorado’s answer to the Cannabis Cup, has taken place annually for over 38 years.Gallery Credit: Nate WildeA video game that’s currently in development based on Colorado’s marijuana industry and quite honestly looks pretty entertaining.Gallery Credit: Nate WildeThe Coffee Joint opened its doors in 2018 to become Denver’s first licensed marijuana consumption lounge, and is currently the only one in the United States:Gallery Credit: Nate WildeCommentsLeave A CommentColorado’s Dog Poo Laws are in Place for a ReasonThis Colorado Hillside Landmark Turning 100 Years Old?How a Colorado Inmate Escaped from Jail After Only Four MonthsAvoid Bear Encounters + Steer Clear of these Parts of ColoradoWhat’s The Origin Story Behind Colorado’s Taste-ticular DishRestaurants Where You Can Order Spanish Paella In ColoradoYour Be a Part of One of Colorado’s Most Famous SignsViral Video Shows Colorado Tourists at Their Worst Around Elk in LakeTaco Lovers Unite: The Ten Best Tacos in Colorado
