As long as it's a legal transaction, the providers should STFU.
Cannabis users should move to ban Mastercard.
Payment processors have a functional monopoly and should not be permitted to refuse or otherwise be punitive to any category of purchase.
I think I'm going to make it a goal to stop using these companies. I think credit cards should be banned as predatory actually, or at least heavily restricted.
Well, they can't stop a cash withdrawal on your card to pay for it. So, it appears they still have to pay for it in a way.
That's a very dumb business move, it might be illegal for then to do that in Canada
It should be illegal for a company to limit what you can purchase anywhere in the world.
Under the law, they literally have to limit transactions for illegal goods, otherwise they become complicit in that crime.
The real stupidity is that Marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
Ok, I’ll just switch, they already ban porn purchases 👍
