Came across an article today saying that Visa & Mastercard were planning on barring all dispensary transactions effective as of today. Anybody affected by this yet?

This is bullshit. Why the fuck can't people spend money on whatever they want?

We just gotta keep fighting. One day we will win. Whether it's within the next 10 years or 100, science will eventually fuck the politicians up the ass.

Hmmmm I wonder who owns those two companies...now who could it be???? Oh that's right all of their banking friends and such in D.C. not wanting the dispensaries to operate. Damn isn't that a coincidence?

Next month you'll be hearing how they've lost millions of account's.

This just prooves! that big banks are behind all the political rhetoric that has been plaguing our once great nation.

And they will also be crying for more bailouts to make up for the loss of business.

Did'nt some bank just a few month's ago try to charge people 5 dollar's to use thier own money? i think i read they had such a backlash of people trying to close thier account's they withdrew thier actions on national Tv.they still lost alot of people because of the mere notion that they would charge you to use youir own money while making billions in profit using Your money to invest in anything and everything making billions of profit or losing billions of profit.either way it's all profit.and now they want even more free money by charging you to use Your money to invest in.Satanist run your Government.

Noone goes to the bank and takes out all thier money at any given time.They always have money laying around to invest in stuff to make them profit.it's so cleverly devious that most dont even relize how badly thier being used.

Sadly this is par for the course for us patients. Sucks too, but the writing was on the wall years ago.

This is truly ridiculous. Also did you know that if every person withdrew the amount of money they've deposited, excluding interest all at once. That the banks would only have about 1/4 of what they say there keeping safe and locked up. It's ridiculous man.

Don't worry whether it'll be in our lifetime or the next, i believe it will be legalized on a federal scale. The government will eventually have to give its people what they want.

While this is complete nonsense and is probably as a result of an interest group paying off big bank execs, I think (this may be as a result of working for a bank myself) that many people forget that banks are a business and are not around just to serve people. Banks exist to make profits just like any other business.

Cash will always be easier for me. But there are things that I HAVE to pay with a debit card, like my phone bill (sprint). There's like an extra $3 charge to pay in CASH. Like WTF?
