“Less than two weeks after Attorney General Eric Holderannounced plans for sweeping drug sentencing reform to help fix a ‘broken system,’ the Drug Enforcement Administration has ordered security and armored vehicle companies to quit serving state-legal cannabis providers, according to industry sources. Armored vehicles allow California’s legal medical marijuana dispensaries a secure way to transport large amounts of cash. The services are critical, since federal authorities pressured banks and credit card companies to stop servicing the pot industry in 2011.”
