    They are a middle man between my bank and the store in purchasing from, nothing more. They shouldn’t stop anything unless it’s theft.

      While I get your sentiment, this announcement comes months before GOP primaries start. As a business, you don’t want to be on the chopping block when the extremists accuse you of drug peddling. A Trump, DeSantis, or similar presidency won’t care about facts.

      Edit: if this has 5 downvotes 2 minutes after I comment, it’s my stalker. Idk what to do about it either

      They are required by law to stop it as cannabis sales are illegal under federal law. I really don’t see how this is mastercards fault …

        Maybe Biden can… Who the fuck am I kidding. Presidents will ride the “maybe I’ll legalize” train for decades to come. I’m shocked the giant tax revenue called legal green isn’t incentive enough.
