> Yet you can't use a credit card to buy cannabis pretty much anywhere AFAIK.

The dispensaries I've been to in LA will generally take credit cards now. They round it up to multiples of 5 and give you change in cash, and I think under-the-hood they're doing a cash advance or something?

This doesn't detract from your point; if anything, it reinforces it. Just an interesting factual point.



If they were doing this with credit cards people would know since they'd be hit with a cash advance fee and no grace period on interest.


They take cards, not credit cards.

Those are debit cards; the transaction is a cashback (that's why they give change in cash).
