Local credit union is probably your best bet. Are they withholding taxes?

Yeah, company I work for withholds taxes, filled out a W2, they've been around since medical started here. They're not going under or playing gently caress-gently caress games. It's a black market drug money concern and banks/CUs are hesitant to touch any of it. They don't want to have to deal with feds/local LE, so they leave marijuana workers holding cash regardless of legitimacy. Also a good idea to have a counterfeit detection pen to check your pay.

realistically they just need to hold out until a democratic administration i highly doubt it'll be legal federal then, but at least there's a high probability that they'll tell feds to back off when it's legal in the state

That's the way things were going before Trump and team took office and Sessions went on the offensive against the industry, and probably would have been in a better place by now with Hilldog instead. There's a handful of stores around that are run by absolute cocks who won't take your money if their employees smell weed on you. Part of a larger chain. It's not wise to wear a work badge outside of work, since it's well known we're paid in cash and wearing it anywhere else makes you a target. Ups and downs of the job though, and no one fucks with a guy with a huge, unkempt beard. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Mar 2, 2019 |

Do you have to tell banks where you work to open an account? Also, depositing cash isn't a problem as long as it isn't over 9,999 dollars at a time (which I think is the amount where they have to ask questions). If you're flush with cash just pay for an hour of a financial lawyer's time and have him tell you exactly how to legally get your cash into a bank account.

You don't have to tell them where you work, no, but if you walk in the bank smelling like a dispensary (literally every workday since I harvest/trim), they'll refuse to process your transaction. Now that I think about it, I could probably just deposit cash at the ATM. No human interaction required.

Yeah. I've literally only been to the credit union I opened an account here once, to open it. I just don't mind having a modest amount of cash on hand.

You could go full blown cartel and hire a middleman. Some yuppie in chinos takes your cash, deposits it at Wells Fargo or wherever, and kicks it back to you piecemeal for 5%. But, money laundering, federal offense, etc.

I had heard rumor of such places, haven't taken the time to confirm it and find one. Just hasn't been high on my priority list. If I was going to change my money to something annoying to deal with, it would be silver next time it hits $10/oz.

Goddamnit, I can just not help myself when I'm visiting family. Ended up arguing over politics with my goddamn uncle until almost midnight last night while drinking heavily, like literally every time I visit them. Except we ended up killing off a whole bottle of Maker's Mark between the two of us in a roughly three hour period, which is roughly five times what I'm normally used to. Barely kept it together in my Uber, made it home, passed out fully clothed on my bed for an hour. Woke up, took a shower and absolutely exploded my goddamn toilet. Now I've got an insane hangover. I absolutely should know better but when he's telling me to make sure I only date a white christian girl it's like a goddamn boxing bell goes off.

I usually hit McDonalds on the way to work for coffee. I realized that it's only a difference of single-digit dollars per month vs making it myself at home and frankly theirs is better most of the time.

Coffee makers of any sort are completely fine. Waking up is a chore already so being able to hit a button or if you're a noble, just hit your fancy "timer" thing which makes it for you before you go off to your job. Days when time isn't a factor and can enjoy a nice cup of coffee, grinding your own beans and doing a pour over/fancy aeropress or whatever you have is the only way to go. Or just be like me and have your local hipster make you something listening to super lovely local music in the city boutique coffee shop.

I usually get up at 4:30 in the morning to have some chill time for my morning routine, a TV show or two while making breakfast and then I head off to work at 5:45. Once I got a coffee pad machine again in my new apartment, I initially got back to my old routine of having a cup before breakfast, but I noticed I didn't really "need" it, so I usually just have one when I slept like poo poo. The capsule espresso maker that was part of the equipment in my old apartment made some bitching-rear end espresso, but the amount of waste those capsule machines generate is beyond insane. The extra cost for each individual cup isn't a big deal to me, but seriously, the amount of trash on those things, Jesus. The upside of pad machines is that you can buy these reusable coffee compartments where you can just cram in powdered coffee, so I'm thinking of getting a coffee grinder down the line.
