Currently, the product is illegal. Why on gods earth would you expect them to process payment for illegal merchandise?

Medical Marijuana is, brace yourself, legal if you're in the right state and have the "green card". It's a legal product for people who need it and I would expect them to process my transaction if I was one of the many people who use marijuana for medical purposes.

...sorry, but you're wrong....just 'cause the state says it's legal for med w/card does not mean the feds agree...it's still a federal offense to have and grow pakalolo...having a huge issue here in hawai'i with that... ask roger christie www.thc-ministry.org/ granted this dink had a good thing going and no one was bothering him, including the feds, until he started poking his fingers in their eye being a loud mouth, letters, sit ins etc. so the feds laid some real hurt on him...he's been in jail, without bail, yet to come to trial for over one year...so much for states right...

Why on earth would someone sit idly by and allow the government to make them their slave and tell them what they can or cannot put into their body?
