Banks have a habit of closing accounts of people involved in the sex industry and recreational drugs (even in places theses are legal)

Marijuana, one of these recreational drugs, is not legal in the United States.. and banks are beholden to federal regulators. The “legality” of marijuana is in dispute because it’s still a federal crime. The Supremacy Clause overrides thèse state “legalizations.”
I am vastly in favor of states rights and the 10th Amendment, however states seem to only care about those things when it supports what they want to do.

Gun shops as well, and they have an even stronger legal standing under federal law.
