Debit/Credit cards no longer usable in dispensaries.....what the heck?

No, I actually just think your senile.

Sell giant soft serves dipped in chocolate all day. Become a multi millionaire.

I always pay cash when I go to the dispensary, because I don't want to pay the $3.50 charge to use a card, but when I went yesterday they had signs at the front door and at every ordering station saying they could no longer take debit cards, and I believe credit cards have been not usable for awhile.


I asked the owner if it was just Purlife, and he said no, that it was industry wide. I told him that I thought it was a lame ploy, and spoke volumes. He agreed.


Now, why do you think it might be that TPTB of credit card companies and banks would want to tamper with access to cannabis....hmmmm?


Could it be because it is an aide in dealing with the physical and emotional issues we most of us have going on?....positions that mostly TPTB have thrust us into, btw.

Could it be because we're more using the flower, rather than the big pharma "crop" shoved in our faces?

Could it be because when we utilize the flower responsibly, we're less out of their grip?


Could it be?.....:billlaugh:


But is this just New Mexico, or is it the same in dispensaries across the country?

Does that chocolate have cannabis in it?....


BTW, I can tell you medicinal card holders that Bhang 200 mg chocolate bars are the bomb for a good night's sleep. I take 60 mg at night, and BOOM! I'm out like a light after about three hours.

Although, perhaps you don't have to have a medicinal card for that strength where you live....I dunno now, now that I've found it its different according to what State you're in. Recreational users can get 100 mg bars here, but they're more expensive per dose, and obviously less THC per dose.

I've tried the Elevated brand, but their chocolate was just icky, really grainy.

The Bhang chocolate is so smooth, and the flavor is perfectly fine....and boy howdy, will you ever sleep well....

Deal in cash and stop wanting plastic privilege? Aren't you the same kind that says plastic is a scam? (It is)
But since tards can't buy dope this week its a crime.
Anybody can do cash back. Atms all over the place.
Dispensaries are not public heroes, they princess dianas that everybody just loves.

We have everything the dispensary does, no medical privelege required.
Medical cards were so people could get pot. Now pots legal and if you are letting new mexico and dispensaries set arbitrary "rules" (fkn dy kes) then you are being "canadian" and obeying david hogg for no reason.
Pots loose. New mexico will get tired of flopping around and trying to chisel everything eventually.

Cash is king, don't ever let them take that away.

I was going to make a thread complaining about this but I got high and forgot about it. Thanx OP.

You're in Cali?

Tularosa - which just got a new store, making 3 that I know of.
People in nm SHOULD utilize Colorado? The only way nm cuts the "trying to make a cumbersome system" of it is when people buy california or colorado at their own convenience.
It wouldn't be such a hassle but that "image" of a control that's illogical and self defeating. Its not "mixologists" and eminence front, its the same thing the kids put in bags for $50 before. They don't have it as strict as liquor stores, but want it esteemed like pharmacies by people.

But? Since its the money anyway, it will all change to prioritize that and sell more weed, they just have to bump their head along the whole way.

Ya know, why don't you go ahead and log in, so I know who you are, eh?

I saw your remark, so I know you have an account. Why don't you go ahead and put a "name" to your posts....or are you just a chicken shit that likes to stir a pot of crap?

Heh, g'head, log in.....

I fucking hate worms like that.

No wonder that AC is an asshole.

He's a mRNA jab junkie who's probably full of anxiety wondering when it'll be his turn to do the Pfizer Twirl.

To clarify my post from earlier, I'm in Arizona, and some of the dispensaries here are set up to accept debit, but not all of them. Some locations of the same corporate entity (Harvest, for example) take debit, while others locations of the same chain do not. My guess is it's because every individual location has a different state MMJ license, and the ones that swipe debit at the counter basically "backdoor" the charge under the license holder's LLC name as a miscellaneous charge, and add on the $3.50. And yes, every single dispensary I've ever set foot in across multiple states have always had those little ATMs available to use.

I'd love to be able to use my CCs there to get airline miles and cash back. I'm careful with credit cards and never carry a balance.

It's due to Drug Conspiracy laws:
"A drug conspiracy is an agreement to violate the narcotics laws. To convict a person of a drug conspiracy requires a prosecutor prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was an agreement by two or more persons to distribute an illegal drug. The essence of a drug conspiracy crime is the agreement. A conviction for a drug conspiracy requires proof that:"

Exchanging cash does not provide proof. An electronic record of a deduction from your account directly to a business dealing solely with the sale of federally illegal narcotics will be enough to "prove" you had an agreement. The banks are most likely covering their own asses, otherwise, they would be the facilitators of said agreement, thus complicit in the agreement themselves, and thus part of the conspiracy to break narcotics laws.

Don't use your card, take 5 minutes to stop at an ATM, and always use cash. These records do not disappear (just like, essentially, everything on the internet). It can potentially come back to bite you in the ass 1, 5, 10+ years later.

Yes, I always use cash at the dispensary....

Fat liar!!
