With as many high ranking government officials getting into the cannabis business, I see regulations continuing to become more relaxed, if not all out national legalization coming pretty quickly. This would put an end to the argument of the past 20 years or so that "It's still illegal at the federal level"
Here's a snippet taken from a Forbes article last month showing the continued progress towards this:
"But under a new bill filed by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Cory Gardner (R-CO), along with 20 other cosponsors, banks would be shielded from being punished by federal regulators for maintaining accounts for state-approved cannabis businesses.
The introduction of the bill, the Secure And Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, comes two weeks after similar legislation cleared the House Financial Services Committee in a bipartisan vote of 45 to 15. That House bill now has 160 cosponsors signed on—more than a third of the entire chamber.
On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin indicated during a Capitol Hill hearing that he supports the move to increase banking access for marijuana businesses."

I'm not behind any argument that boils down to "Let's support anything our current federal government does."
That's a scary proposition ANY time, but especially so right now.

I'm really looking fwd to all the nothing that is going to happen once they open up. Then we can move past all the "Ooga booga! Scary things will happen" prophesies that have had 20 years to happen with the CA legal dispensaries, but have not happened. We can all then move on with our non-impacted lives.
