Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Helping Cannabis Businesses Accept Transactions in a Secure and Legal Way

Despite a total of 28 states having now legalized marijuana in some form, the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration still classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance, alongside heroin and LSD. With this mind, it has been hard for the banking industry to support legal marijuana businesses.
