    This really isn’t that big of a deal anyways. Just deploy an ATM inside the shop as a courtesy. Bonus points if it’s a nice machine that can give customers amounts in increments as little as $5.

    Since your business has cash as it’s main method of payment; it should be fairly simple to keep said ATM stocked up.

    This at least would be the cheeky way to get around restrictions.

        I highly doubt any sensible dispensary delivers their product! For obvious legal reasons, no, you have to go to their physical location and buy their product physically in-store so that they can make sure you’re:

        • Not two kids in a trench coat.
        • Not otherwise forbidden from buying cannabis by state law.
        • Not all cracked out.
        • Not buying in bulk amounts so that you can give/sell that good shit out to all your friends
        • Not a Federal Bikini Inspector or a Constantly Interjecting Asshole working with the Dipshits Eating Assoles who’s sole mission is to ruin everything for everyone
        • Obeying the laws of the state while buying the goods

          Uh, I pretty much only order delivery in California. They just check your ID at the door, same as with alcohol delivery.

      Lol I’m not talking about dispensary businesses. I’m talking about online shops selling hardware like glass pipes and stuff. It’s dumb, but it affects many small businesses in the USA.

      Sadly there is no simple way to install a virtual ATM for payments on an online store

      The messed up part is that while you can’t do tobacco product sales using Paypal in the USA, if you’re outside the USA paypal will totally take your business. As I’ve been told directly from Paypal’s representatives - they want our business, but it’s VISA putting down the rules about what merchant services can work with tobacco/firearm/cannabis sales - and there aren’t many in the country (Paypal, Square, etc are not on that list).
