Science Textbook Publisher Gets Dumped By Square For Cannabis Mentions

Yes this is still happening with payment processors

Russ Hudson

Bad news for me, as ReeferMadness continues: Square, the payment processor for my textbooks, is deactivating my account and kicking me off the platform. Soon, I won’t be able to process book orders.

All I sell is well-cited scientific textbooks, but because they mention molecules that occur in cannabis, Square is taking action against me.

I’m trying to bring education and science to this industry – most of my customers are students, educators, doctors, nurses, and researchers. So, it’s not only me who loses as a result of this heavy-handed, tired, and deliberately ignorant nonsense. Everyone loses.

Suggestions for an alternative payment processor are welcome and appreciated.

This is the letter he received from Square
