facing a dilemma. marijuana is legal ere... but it welcome back. pot businesses in california are facing a dilemma. marijuana is legal here, but it is still illegal under federal law and most banks won't open business accounts for people in the industry. liz wagner has been looking into how this predicament is derailing the new weed business and joins us with what she found. >> reporter: as long as the banks say no, the industry will run on cash. and lots of it. the state estimates a billion dollars in new tax revenue alone from growers to the government, everyone says it is dangerous and bad for business. and we discovered that there is no solution in sight. you're looking at photos of a pot farmer after he was pistol whipped and mugged leaving a dispensary. he is always on alert because bad guys know that they always carry weed and cash. a lot of it.

>> puts knee a sticky spot. >> reporter: he doesn't want us to use his name, but he invited us to his farm where he tells us most banks won't touch his cash. and if they do, it is not for long. >> within two months, the account was closed and i was told to come pick up all my money. they said it was a high risk account. >> reporter: so growers have had to come up with other ways to stash their cash like turning it into cryptocurrency. they go to special atmes to buy bitcoins and then wire to new accounts. >> banks have no problem with a wire transfer. >> sounds like a lot of steps to go through to deposit your own money. >> especially when you are trying to be compliant. >> reporter: now he drives his cash 600 miles to a bank in l.a. where he can disguise where it came from. >> up here they see me with $7,000 worth of came, in $20 bills and it is very obvious thathe cannabis

industry. >> reporter: and others know that they are bigger targets. >> this is an armored vehicle. >> reporter: these agents work for a company that hauls cash for cannabis clients. >> millions on any given day. >> millions in cash? >> yeah. >> reporter: it is especially dangerous during tax time. we're drivering to a dispensary in san francisco where the agents pick up the owner's taxes. jeff breyer says where any other business would just write the government a check, his clients have to pay cash. >> they didn't have a banking solution, but a lot of cash. so those were chunks of a half million each approximately. all rig >> reporter: and the government has to take all that cash which can be a burden for small offices like monitterey county. the treasurer's office phased out cash a decade ago. >> now we have to focus on cash when we were moving away from that.

>> reporter: the county spent 300 grand on security guards, new machines and whole new room. >> this is our secure accounting facility. >> reporter: these local governments wouldn't be drowning in cash if the feds would take marijuana off their list of illegal drugs. cannabis companies could start using banks and credit cards. >> it would make life a lot easier for us because then we could facilitate the payments electronically like everybody else. >> reporter: but there is no federal resolution in sight. and some business owners say california failed to come up with solutions before we became legal here in january. >> legitimate individuals -- >> reporter: we asked the state treasurer about it. did the state do enough to prepare? >> a lot of people driving to move forward. there wasn't enough subject matter expertise. >> reporter: so he formed a panel of experts to study work arounds. and now he is looking into a state run bank. he says the problems could impact everyone, not just pot

businesses. >> when you eliminate credit, a lot of the economy goes. >> so the stakes are high for a lot of people. >> it is daily operations. >> do you think the state as a whole is treating this issue with the same high stakes? >> i know we're working very hard, i know that they are working hard upstairs. >> reporter: in the meantime our pot farmer is still waiting for a safe place to put his money. something better than where other growers in his neck of the woods have stashed their cash for decades. >> there might be a billion dollars buried in the hills at least. >> reporter: pending legislation would allow state licensed badges to issue special checks to weed businesses and we've learned several credit unions are working with people in the cannabis industry. and while some dispensaries can now process debit or credit card payments, if you want to buy weed, still bring cash just in case. back to you. >> liz, thanks.
