Yeah you can't use a credit card at any dispensary anywhere in the country. Here in Oregon they have an ATM in every dispensary for that reasonPaypal bans a lot of things..right or wrong, to keep themselves out of trouble with the feds.
Our dispensaries were set upon by the FDA for selling "pet CBD" products so they stopped; since they didn't want the FDA messing with them. It simply was not worth their trouble.
Here is a Petsmart ad for a CBD product where you can use a CC in person in a brick and mortar store.

I'm with you on this. Cannabis has helped me with the chronic pain I experience more than anything else has, and I also was able to leave opiate pain medication behind me. Forever, as long as I can get the tinctures that do the job so much better than pain pills ever did, and have other great benefits as well. Long live the cannabis plant.
Well thats part of the problem too...big corporate players get special treatment. I hate Facebookl. Ebay owns paypal so...no big surprise there. It is very confusing. Just imagine how confusing it is trying to get in the business. I lost a ton of money. I don't know how Petsmart is doing it, they really are not supposed to be able to...but big money talksOK, I think I got a few things wrong.
I assumed that facebook allowed it because I know that they used to, didn't know they changed that. I don't do facebook myself, so probably shouldn't have thought I knew anything about that. I thought EBay sold it but I guess they don't, so I got that wrong. Sorry.
here are links to the Petsmart and Petco website pages where you can get CBD products:

Still, it is clear to me that you know more about this than I do, so I will take your word for this. The voice of experience is usually the one to listen to.
This is not really on topic, exactly, but....
While it is apparently true that credit card companies don't like to sell accounts to businesses that sell CBD and so they charge high prices, I don't think they hold very high standards in other ways.
For instance I recently found an ad online from someone selling a cheap piece of plastic and metal jewelry for $150 because she said it had the spirit of a Werewolf trapped inside it. SHE had a merchant credit card account. So those card companies are being perhaps a bit arbitrary in their choosing who can have an account based on the reliability of claims that the seller makes!
Tinctures are very easy to make and the dispensaries charge an arm and a leg. I make it by the quart..I'm with you on this.

At the dispenseries I presume it is more of a case of THC than CBD! I am not really that sure now of anything i said...except for the advertising!
Ebay spun off PayPal in 2014,
My bet is that they still ahve a majority ownership though.

If the THC content is <.3%, the FDA doesn't care anymore, except in the cases of false advertising and claims. Something to do with violating their cosmetic rules I think.At the dispenseries I presume it is more of a case of THC than CBD!

So far they have kept their mitts pretty much off the legalized states. They would be besieged with states rights lawsuits and they know it. Too much money at stake for the states to just roll over. Those days are gone for good.
@Madra AnamcharaI'm with you on this. Cannabis has helped me with the chronic pain I experience more than anything else has, and I also was able to leave opiate pain medication behind me.

Here is a basic method for making your own tinctures. Aside from being much cheaper..you can custom tailor the strength.
I only make THC tinctures, and those sold in dispensaries are not strong enough thanx to regulation; but if you DIY you get whatever you want. One interesting about THC is that when it degrades, the composition changes to CBN. CBN is less psychoactive, but oh so great for a good night's sleep. I have been making my night time tincture with 2 yr old CBN rich cannabis.
If you use olive oil or food grade glycerin, you can put your tincture into a 00 size gelatin capsule. It will then be acted upon by the liver (instead of being directly secreted into the blood stream) and have the effect of an edible!
Take some sublingually and add a capsule and you will not believe the effects.

Hey, thanks much for this information. I did make my own tincture one time but all the info said you have to use high potency alcohol, and everclear is best, so I did that and it made a tincture that worked but the everclear burned my mouth so I couldn't use it. I have not ever found any info on how to make it with oil or glycerin instead of alcohol.@Madra Anamchara

I use the Ardent FX to decarb and infuse. I am currently testing a potential competitor to the FX for another vendor.

BUT here is a cheaper alternative. Remember to decarb your cannabis first. The nice thing about the Ardent units is that decarbs and infuses perfectly every time.
You can put Everclear based tincture in a size 00 glycerin capsule too, but you must ingest it immediately or it will melt.
