Obama may not of been aware of it happening. He would of been aware of banks not excepting cannabis cash. (fed law). However the CC crackdown is on an International scale.
Thats Big Pharma and the Tobacco companies getting rid of competition and using the banks as the tool.
All these companies that are not excepting US bank credit cards are not in the USA. I've been ordering seeds from Canada AND the USA no problemo. It's the overseas seed companies that I cannot order from (I live in the USA). I'm well stocked on seed strains out of NorCal/OR but I would like to order some of the specialty seed strains I cannot get from the USA like seeds from Sweet Seeds... auto purps varieties.
I would have to agree about Big Pharma but I would have to say it's something more sinister like Corporate Banking worldwide reach.... reason I say this is due to the fact that when trying to purchase with a CC from the few EU seed banks and the CC was declined, I called my bank and they didn't even see the CC transaction go thru.... so something on the internet was blocking the transaction from hitting the CC machine in the EU.
Like this:
on computer or Cell (different carriers same outcome) type in CC info
hit send and send CC info over the internet to the seed company to process order
get error from seed bank website
call my bank right away and ask if they see any overseas transactions going thru or getting declined
Answer from bank - they see NO ACTIVITY at all... so bank is not declining
The problem can be the digital signal interrupt before hitting seed bank CC machine, OR the seed bank CC company processor is blocking the transaction (unlikely as the CC company makes $$ on every transaction).
If the CC transaction goes thru to a bank on either end my bank would be able to see that transaction even if it was rejected. I suppose something hinky could be happening at the seed bank's own CC company but like I said unlikely as there motive to do business is to make money no matter what.
Soooo lets say it's the VISA system... and some politics going on behind the scenes there! I don't think there's any international banking/commerce laws against credit card purchase of cannabis seeds, is there??
Visa decided to crack down on seed purchase?? Again strange, they probably break banking laws daily...
Companies will break laws if the risk is not high and the rewards are high... that's history repeating itself and it's the same old same old.. can't see that changing anytime soon, specially in the banking industry. Some of the richest folks in the world were cocaine dealers...they used banks 110% even going back to alcohol prohibition. Al Capone put his money in banks... WTF??
Looks like its time to get a Canadian Checking account which is a PAIN IN THE ASS (but doable), so I can purchase seeds from Canada.. it's not against the law up there...anymore.
Problem could be as simple as the zip code on the CC form!!??
Why is the banking/business establishment fighting again Cannabis, ALL OF A SUDDEN?
Maybe the answer is Trump the Chump. He's got friends in banking...
