Dangerous Delays: What Washington (Re)Teaches Us About Cash and Cannabis Store Robberies

Dangerous Delays is the first published study on characteristics of cannabis store robberies. The report focuses on an unprecedented and ultimately deadly surge in robberies that affected the cannabis community in Washington State from November 2021 through April 2022. It makes use of listings in the "Uncle Ike's i502 Robbery Tracker" to generate the data used in a statistical analysis.
The report addresses questions that relate to the SAFE Banking Act, which was before Congress during the time of the Washington robbery surge. SAFE passed the House but stalled in the Senate in December 2021, and is again being considered by Congress now. Dangerous Delays also discusses social conditions that risk more events like what happened in Washington, and ways in which more work may be needed following passage of SAFE to successfully address the cannabis cash problem.
Friday's webinar will feature:
- statistical and qualitative presentation by report author David Borden, on the role of cash in driving robberies and assaults on workers
- comments by Ian Eisenberg, Uncle Ike's
- reaction by Neill Franklin, CNN analyst and former executive director of Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP)
- others to be announced
