Despite winning popular support in some state elections in
recent years, Joseph Stevens has launched a new business venture that the
“right people” just don’t like. The right people being bankers, that is.
Stevens is CEO of the Greenleaf
Compassion Center in Montclair, NJ, a medical marijuana dispensary.
Greenleaf opened in December, 2012, after a two-year struggle to begin
operations. Along the way, Stevens says he saw plenty of politics and red tape,
but no financing. Local banks and credit unions just didn’t want to touch him.
