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.
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.
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.
