In Colorado, Marijuana businesses are all open and don't need help. In fact, they are BOOMING! It is an insult to hold up aid to the businesses that desperately need help to try open up financing for the Marijuana industry.
I do agree that the Cannabis industry needs access to bank accounts & investments. A friend of mine started working with a cannabis grower in Los Angeles and he finances these grow houses with private money nationwide. If they have solid business plans they will get money at a good interest rate. I don’t know why this is a pressing issue in a CV19 bill other than there is billions of dollars for the banking industry to profit from it. Follow the money.
There is also a $25,000,000,000 Post Office bailout in the bill. Many congressmen own real estate companies that sell old post offices that will be fixed up for sale as a result of this bill.
There is more pork in this bill as with any bill. As I have said, if a CV19 bill has anything in it that is not CV19 related, it is not a CV19 bill. It is just more fat pigs at the slop trough using our pain to try to get more slop.
At the federal level Marijuana still is on the schedule one narcotic list alongside Heroin, Acid, and LSD. Cannabis is considered even worse than cocaine by these clowns.
Cannabis has to be thought as worse cause they know it has so many health benefits it will start to take money away from big pharma. Big pharma aka bill Gates can't let weed go federal legal
Same here in Canada, we have to watch for non related items being snuck into a bill..
