It does the exact opposite. It makes you want to hang out on your couch so you can raid the fridge once in a while.

Pandering....
They'll just stop at the ATM on the way to the cannabis dispensary.

Here in CA, there are ATM machines in the dispensaries.

Mastercard moves to ban cannabis purchases on its debit cards

Mastercard has told financial institutions to stop allowing marijuana transactions on its debit cards, dealing a blow to an industry already on the fringes of the financial system in the United States.

Mastercard (MA.N) has told financial institutions to stop allowing marijuana transactions on its debit cards, dealing a blow to an industry already on the fringes of the financial system in the United States.
Most banks in the country do not service cannabis companies as marijuana remains illegal at the federal level despite several states legalizing its medicinal and recreational use.
"As we were made aware of this matter, we quickly investigated it. In accordance with our policies, we instructed the financial institutions that offer payment services to cannabis merchants and connects them to Mastercard to terminate the activity," a spokesperson for the company said on Wednesday.
"The federal government considers cannabis sales illegal, so these purchases are not allowed on our systems," the spokesperson added.

That's just plain stupid.

Fighting a losing battle.

Faster we can dope up Americans and kill them off with fentanyl the better. Less zombies to deal with in SHTFF.

...yes with 2 F's.

If you can't spend "your" money where "you" want, then "your" money isn't really "yours".

This is all to get "you" ready

Soon all your purchases will be controlled, and Democrats will bring it to you as part of the Great Reset.

Democrats = WEF
