A new survey conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of the American Bankers Association (ABA) confirmed that a vast majority of U.S. adults support cannabis banking and urge Congress to pass legislation allowing cannabis businesses to access banking services in states where marijuana is legal. Fully 66% of those polled support cannabis banking, only 15% oppose and the rest don't really care.
“Americans firmly believe that now is the time to resolve the ongoing conflict between state and federal law to allow banks to serve legal cannabis and cannabis-related businesses,” said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. “We urge Congress to pass the SAFE Banking Act this year to enhance public safety in the 38 states where cannabis is legal in some form.”
