The issuer says its debit cards must not be used for legal cannabis, due to federal laws in the US.

    it’s about outdated federal regulations

    That’s the liability, the feds can theoretically go after it still even if the state has allowed it.

      Exactly. Not sure why everyone is down-voting me to hell. I didn’t say I like it, but it is a liability.

        Because you sound like you’re arguing that it’s not a liability while making the point of why it’s a liability.

        Also you have 3 down votes. Chill.

          41 downvotes. I am arguing that it is a liability. What have I said that would suggest it isn’t?
