Washington, DC – The National Cannabis Roundtable today released a policy memo and letter submitted to Chairman Mike Crapo (R-ID) in response to his request for feedback from the cannabis industry regarding the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act (SAFE Banking Act). NCR’s detailed response to Chairman Crapo’s questions focus on issues related to potency, research, anti-money laundering and legacy cash, and interstate commerce.

“We are committed to working with Chairman Crapo to reach a rational framework for cannabis banking policy. This is a common sense approach that will enhance law enforcement, weed out bad actors, and allow state and local governments to bank, track, and tax this rapidly growing industry,” said Saphira Galoob, NCR Executive Director.
