Simultaneous time series editorial for the legalization of marijuana called.

At this point, the widespread legalization of marijuana now seems more of a "when" rather than "if". Personal beliefs aside, the numbers do not lie. The debates may be, whether caused the decrease in traffic accidents in Colorado is enough to offset the slump pot DUI arrests in legalized states. However, there is no debate when it comes to facts and figures; Americans like marijuana.

In 2014, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report counts the United States in the third world for marijuana. 14.8% of Americans use marijuana, the land behind Zambia (17.7%) and Iceland (18.3%) of consumption. In 2013, estimated sales of marijuana of America, amounts to about 1.5 million. This number is not a novelty. In fact, it is expected that the projection in 2014 almost doubled to $ 2.6 billion.

If Great legalization continues to approach reality, we are probably not far from one version of marijuana seamlessly with most major cities.

The problem facing the provision of financial services is what overlooking the entire industry: the law. With each state variable and the federal government continues to be identified as a Schedule I drug, the investors are often wary, in a business that is not involved in the position to expand beyond the borders of the state for a while. In addition, banks are still reluctant to make money from marijuana, the management system potentially risky money for all concerned makes to accept.

These people are the customers that the big companies do not want to risk it. Rather, the risk comes from small businesses.
