Hedgeye: Cannabis Banking | Updating the Challenges Financial Institutions Face

##### Published on December 21, 2021

On December 22nd, CRB Monitor's [Steve Kemmerling](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-kemmerling-0096033/) spoke with Hedgeye's [Howard Penney](https://app.hedgeye.com/edge/team#howard-penney) regarding the on-going the federal legislative landscape for cannabis and cannabis-banking. 

Listen [HERE](https://app.hedgeye.com/e/+o8/a893$r/event-cannabis-fireside-chat-12-22).

Cannabis has moved to a Tier 1 policy issue in DC and many Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are clamoring for reform. This powerful combination has never been seen in a prohibition era, but will that mean we will see some form of Cannabis legalization happen before the 2022 mid-terms or a 2023 (or later) event? Will it happen under the current administration?

### Key Points Covered

- Why SAFE failed and what is the likely next move?
- How can financial institutions can create cannabis policies and procedures to more effectively reflect today's market and regulatory realities without leaving undue risk or opportunity to change.
- Why are JP Morgan and other Large Financial institutions increasing enforcement around Cannabis now?
- Is this a move because the big banks know Legalizations is coming?
- Expectations for incremental legalization in 2022?
