Can't use banks

People are being denied jobs because they possess a MMJ card https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2022/09/pennsylvania-medical-marijuana-job-fired/
What about all the people who are curious to try it, but aren't going to go out of their way to get diagnosed with anxiety (or are 'lucky' enough to have a more serious medical issue), get approved for MMJ by a certified MMJ doctor, pay the state $50 for a card, wait two weeks for it in the mail, and then fight through the first-timer scpheel at the dispensary?

There is a ton of tax revenue yet to be captured by legalization. I'm glad you're not opposed to legalization, but you're getting downvoted (by others) for stating your opinion as supposed fact. https://www.cato.org/tax-budget-bulletin/budgetary-effects-ending-drug-prohibition here's an article that discusses decriminalization vs legalization and the impact on tax revenue, in case you'd like an informed opinion.
