Transportation
A serious issue that small startups have in the cannabis industry is in securely transporting their cash and
product as both are magnates for criminals. Armed robbers will make short work of an unprotected
personal vehicle but the problem is that many security companies cannot transport cannabis due to its
Federal illegal status. This is not just in the US which is under direct Federal law but in many other
countries companies that do work in the US are very wary of breaking Federal laws such as in banking and
narcotics and hence their reluctance to participate in any activity that they deem to be dubious. Naturally
being involved in the distributing of cannabis is high up on their lists of dubious activities. Again this
reluctance for traditional security firms to support the burgeoning cannabis industry has sparked demand
and interest from start-up security firms that are specializing in cannabis security and transportation.
