Why this is classified high risk
Plant-touching cannabis remains federally illegal in the US, which means no major acquirer will issue a card MID for direct THC sales. Cannabis-adjacent businesses — packaging, accessories, B2B SaaS, consulting, hemp-derived products — can process through standard high-risk acquirers with the right MCC routing and compliance documentation.
For plant-touching dispensary operations, state-licensed cashless ATM, ACH, or closed-loop wallet solutions are typically the path. We can refer those to specialists.
