Yep, that must be why I walked into a dispensary, that sold only recreational and medicinal marijuana to adults aged 21+, that checked all IDs at the door, and reverified them by the cashier. Then, after completing my transaction using a debit card, and having my aforementioned conversation with the cashier, who was wearing the identification as is required by all states with recreational marijuana on a lantern around their neck, and proceeded to leave with legitimate marijuana...

I know delta 8 and all those substitutes. This was a legitimate dispensary advertising and using Visa for credit transactions for their purchases.

Hence why I said they're very barely doing so, but Visa appears to at least be starting to, and that your statement of "no store selling marijuana will use a credit care" was false.

Ahhh, debit. Not credit.

My point still stands.

[-] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It doesn't.

I didn't want to use a credit card, that doesn't mean they don't accept them. They made that clear they do.

So no... Your point does not still stand.
