MARIJUANA MONEY

In just one month, Colorado has sold $14 MILLION of recreational marijuana from 136 licensed stores. WE NEED TO SOLVE THE BANKING PROBLEMS CAUSED BY FEDERAL LAW.

Marijuana is STILL a schedule 1 drug, CLASSIFIED by our FEDERAL government as WORSE than any other drugs in existence. The US Attorney General has the authority to reclassify marijuana tomorrow, if he should so choose.

As long as marijuana is against federal law, any bank doing business with a marijuana provider or farmer is risking prosecution by a politically ambitious US attorney. THIS IS INCREDIBLY STUPID as cash businesses are vulnerable to armed robbery. It is almost certainly easier to rob a marijuana store than a bank and you will probably get more money.

Additionally, WE CAN NOT TAX SALES UNLESS WE CAN TRACK SALES.

HOLDER SHOULD TAKE MARIJUANA OFF SCHEDULE 1.

THIS IS A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE. Historically, marijuana has been used to keep minorities and liberals "in line". In other words, we are pursuing a policy that allows the police to arrest almost anyone they dislike for use of an herb that has never been proven to cause a single death.

Worse, since we can no longer track political contributions, the illegal marijuana money is almost certainly being used to finance politicians who will vote to keep the illegal drug money flowing.

BY TRYING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO USE ONLY ALCOHOL, YOU ARE DESTROYING OUR DEMOCRACY!
