Marijuana dispensaries (both medicinal and recreational)\nare targets for criminals. Since cannabis is still illegal at the federal\nlevel, the majority of banking institutions refuse association.

\u201cIn separate incidents on July 19, 2017, a security guard was killed and three other men were wounded at a South Los Angeles dispensary, where a guard was shot to death last year in a robbery.

Most states have stringent guidelines regarding the safe storage of data, cannabis products, and cash. These guidelines are not as detailed regarding the protection of human life.

The cost of litigation and settlements would far exceed the initial implementation of security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
