This is not true.

Here is a legitimate business selling schedule 1 drugs: https://www.caymanchem.com/product/10801/mephedrone-(hydroch...

Regulatory Information: DEA Schedule I

With a schedule I DEA license, you can buy this product, and the manufacturer can deposit your money into a bank.

That's why I'm not sure moving marijuana from schedule 1 to 2 or 3 will really change much from a banking perspective.

Marijuana dispensaries will still be violating federal law, no different than if they were selling sleeping pills illegally.

Right. At the end of the day we need to just de-list it and strike all federal laws on it. The ship has sailed and the states won, let’s just do the inevitable thing and get on with it.
