on the other horn, North Dakota already has the one thing that other states with legal weed WISH they had, and that’s a state bank. The most interesting thing about legalization in ND would be to see how they handle that side of the issue. Because cannabis remains illegal under Federal law, Corporate banks insured by the FDIC are afraid to do business with the weed industry, even though it’s completely legal in the states where they operate. Some of those states have tried to get their own state banks, but none have succeeded so far..
As long as the weed shops remain a cash only business due to federal banking paranoia, they also remain a target for robberies. Which of course the “law and order” Republicans would blame on the drugs, not the large amounts of cash handling involved.
