New York has legalized recreational marijuana, but since these products are still federally illegal, many financial institutions are wary of accepting cannabis business clients.
Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins says this is something that will most likely have to be addressed at the federal level.
“We’re trying to work within the framework that s existing,” Stewart-Cousins said. “I do believe that it will probably be helpful if the federal government looks at this a different way.”
