- A recent poll from the American Bankers Association found that 63% of Americans favor allowing cannabis businesses access to the U.S. financial system.
- This would include access to banking services such as checking accounts and business loans in states where marijuana has been legalized.
- The poll found that 36% of respondents strongly support Congress passing cannabis banking legislation with 27% saying they somewhat support it.
- "Americans have made it clear that Congress should resolve the ongoing conflict between state and federal law on cannabis banking issues by passing legislation that will enhance public safety, tax collection and transparency," said ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols in a news release.
