Why do you say it's not legal in the USA? If it's legal in some states, that means that the federal government should allow it. If they were to step in, that would go against the constitution and the current state of legislation (which I think by allowing cultivation of hemp leaves the door open). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_the_United_States#...

Because the federal government of the USA is slow to update its laws.

Banking is important. Without banking, weed businesses will still encourage crime (although primarily as victims.)

Aren’t all banks regulated by the states themselves? In terms of convenience, having to use a debit card instead of a credit card isn’t very big of a difference.
