Funny how the local, state and federal regulators are allowed to accept taxes from marijuana vendors and then happily deposit that money into their operating accounts. If I were the banks trying to get clearance to accept marijuana business transactions, I'd hold those government agencies to the same standards and laws at the very least. Otherwise, I'd question the validity - and legality - of their ability to tax these businesses.

My best suggestion? Pay your taxes but put it all into escrow accounts until there is banking available for all.
