The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry.

Despite the lucrative nature of the budding marijuana market in the U.S., banks are skittish about doing business with dispensaries in legal states. With cannabis still being illegal on a federal level, financial institutions fear reprisals. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for marijuana businesses to do things like obtain loans or use any other payment form besides cash.

The Associated Press is reporting that California is quickly moving forward with a plan to establish a system of banks to work with the marijuana industry which is legal under state law, but illegal under federal law. Given that legal marijuana businesses are shut out of the traditional banking system by federal laws, proponents of the new push argue that they would benefit if the state approves a measure creating a special class of banks to handle pot money.
