The Patterson Inn has made history across the country by receiving the first license to operate an indoor cannabis consumption lounge hosted within a hotel.…

420 with CNW — Congress Appoints Negotiators to Finalize Manufacturing Bill with Possible Cannabis Banking Protections

Cannabis banking has been a contentious issue since states started legalizing medical and recreational cannabis. Since federal law prohibits the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis, most financial institutions refuse to work with businesses in the cannabis space. This forces marijuana businesses to operate on a cash-only basis, which significantly increases the risk of robberies and prevents these companies from accessing much-needed capital. After years of advocating for access to financial services, the cannabis sector is a step closer to its goal after Congress appointed negotiators to finalize a manufacturing and innovation bill that would protect banks that choose to…
