medical cannabis is now legal in 33 states and recreational cannabis is legal in 11 states...

It still remains an all-cash business.

When dispensaries buy their inventory from growers, they have to pay in cash.

And when customers purchase marijuana products from a dispensary, they can’t use credit cards. They have to pay cash, too.

The industry made almost $9 billion last year.

By 2022, it’s expected to be raking in over $23 billion a year.

All of that cash on hand makes for a VERY tempting target for thieves.

As California edibles producer Mark Mason told Rolling Stone magazine:

“We carry more cash than banks. You can’t walk into a bank and get $300,000 in cash. You’d make more money robbing us. It just feels like, wow, now that my business is completely legal, it’s more dangerous than ever.”
