What are talking about? Marijuana isn’t illegal federally.

It's nice to see some Canadian exceptionalism out in the wild.
This post is on lemmy.ca, so it should be safe to assume that it referred to the Canadian Government
Apologies, I saw a post in a community on lemmy.ca and foolishly presumed that its default view wasn’t one of Americentrism. Silly me I guess.
Welcome to the Fediverse! :D
I joke, but I've made the same mistake too.
it's not Americentric to discuss American law impacting two American companies by making comparisons to other American industries.
You're stirring the pot for no reason other than to thumb your nose at Americans
Ouch, I guess I’ve triggered you. Apologies. I believe your previous post is in violation of Rule 1, but hey I get it. Life’s busy and it’s easy to get caught up in and forget civility and respect. I’ll block you in a bit and you can continue on your way.
That’s a fair presumption to make, in this case it’s just that Canadian gaming is being affected by US law.
It is federally illegal in the United States of America.
Kickstarter is a US company. Stripe is HQ'd in California. We are clearly discussing American financial regulations and payment processing.
