    Not a single cannabis store that I know of in the US accepts credit card.

    False. Went to one in June, 2024, in New York City, right around Time’s Square, and the guy behind the counter asked if I was paying via cash, debit, or credit.

    I asked him about the credit option, and he said Visa has started working with some dispensaries and offering their credit services for payment. I even mentioned it to a dispensary employee in Maine (they only accept cash), and he said the same thing: Visa is the only one that’s barely starting to offer credit service for dispensaries.

      That person was reporting their experience. It’s not false that they have not seen it. I haven’t, either.

      Lots of “stores” sell “weed” (delta 8) and that’s not illegal for credit cards.

      You are not buying real weed from a real dispensary in the US with a credit card, yet. One day, but if you aren’t paying cash, that’s a red flag.
