>The reason dispensaries prefer cash is likely because banks and credit card companies operate on a federal level and have to comply with federal laws
Ok, thanks for admitting that it is still definitely illegal at the federal level, the states didn't actually sidestep anything, they just refused to enforce the federal law and the feds refuse to force them to comply since they know the act will be struck down for being unconstitutional just like tax stamps if they push a case to the supreme court.
>They generally can't unless they have some ulterior probable cause like reason to believe said operation is hiring illegals,
Wrong, cannabis is illegal federally, so they can and still do raid grow ops and dispensaries in legal states.
>as weed is legal in that particular state
Which is why they don't take them to state court, they take them to federal court where they know the judge won't just arbitrarily throw out the case because the state has told them not to enforce federal cannabis laws.
