Being gulped up big corporations is good. They will much more efficiently serve the market. SMBs are notoriously unproductive. Though maybe you want your drug dealers to be unproductive, for society's sake! I may take this back...
Can't say I've ever felt that massive corps and the people that work there are super productive. In many instances they seem less productive than government.

It is a gateway drug. When marijuana is illegal you have to get it from drug dealers, who have an incentive to upsell you to harder stuff. Make it legal and that gateway goes away.
Anecdote: I've had countless dealers over 20 years in many countries and continents, not once has someone tried to sell me anything else (besides hash). It's always been some cheery barefoot guy with dreads growing it in his closet. Now that it's legal in Germany I'm going to grow my own, and experience the (surprisingly common!) miracle of harvesting the exact legal limit of 25 grams from 3 plants ;)

Well, politicians doing what people want in order to get reelected is kinda the point of democracy.
There's no need to talk down to me. My point was that they could be doing what people want for the entire duration of their term , rather than in the last few months. To use an analogy, it's like a student getting bad grades all year and then doing a bunch of extra credit assignments when they're worried about failing the class.

I think the ATM isn't actually dispensing cash. You're doing an ATM transaction for a certain amount of money, but what you're actually getting is weed. It's not just "You can buy with cash, and we conveniently have an ATM available to get cash if you didn't go to your bank."
Nope, it's just a regular ATM operated by a 3rd party company. You get cash from it then give them the cash. The store will also often reimburse for the ATM fee.

Has society ever been safe, productive or prosperous? I’d argue it hasn’t. I think smaller collectives have managed to eek out a bit of solace but society as a whole has always been at each other’s throats. Our notion of productivity is mostly moved forward by one hand not seeing the other.

You can sell schedule 3 drugs to consumers. Pharmacies do this all the time.
'without a DEA licensed rx and dea licensing' Rx under DEA scrutiny is nothing like rec or laughable state controlled medical 'recommendations'. You pull that shit as a provider on controlled scripts and your charts get audited, your DEA license gets pulled.
For federal workers in legalized states, will they be able to use?
Unlikely in the near term. As I understand it, rescheduling to Schedule III would mean that marijuana (and marijuana-based products) can be sold with a prescription. But, for a doctor to prescribe something, it needs FDA approval. I don't know when/if FDA will approve any marijuana-based treatments. And even if they did, this would not authorize recreational use.

Unlimited fees reversed with Schwab checking. No monthly fee to figure out how to avoid, either.
So they just eat the fees?
And if you're truly abusing it and costing them massively with fees, they can always close your account.

Wouldn't that be leaving money on the table? The bank that accepts business with marijuana vendors is at a competitive advantage to one that doesn't, no?
Not necessarily. It depends on the risks, morals, and stuff like ESG. We've seen this with stuff like alcohol, tobacco, and guns.
