Morgan Fox, political director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), explained that this is due to half of US states still banning regulated adult-use cannabis markets. Additionally, federal taxation on state-licensed cannabis businesses makes it hard for them to access banking and financial services compared to their unregulated counterparts. In summary, the slow progress in marijuana arrests is due to some states not yet legalizing use and the federal government's overtaxing of state-licensed dispensaries.Support the showGet our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3VEn9vu
