DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Oct 14, 2014) - Blue Line Protection Group, Inc. "Blue Line" (
Blue Line Protection Group has experienced enormous growth providing security and transportation services to businesses involved in the recreational and medical marijuana industries. "Although (Blue Line) grows largely by the number of dispensaries and the number of grows we're looking after," said Mr. Campbell in The Stock Radio interview, "going forward, the compliance piece of our business is becoming increasingly important. To get banking is very difficult for these businesses; as a result, they have large amounts of cash that they cannot use and cannot really even store."
The Stock Radio (www.thestockradio.com) provides small-cap and OTC stock companies the ability to maintain a branded web-presence and highlight their information to potential investors through audio interviews and in-depth company profile articles.

Mr. Campbell spoke of the problems banks face in complying with the federal mandates related to the marijuana industry. "The problem is that 99.9% of these banks cannot possibly meet the requirements on their own," said Mr. Campbell. "So it serves us very well that we are vertically integrated, so we have the guard at the door checking the ages, we have the transportation so we're weighing the product as it comes in. We're transporting the revenue from these various dispensaries so we know what the sales are."
Blue Line investigators are able to provide the chain-of-custody compliance measures related to proceeds from lawful cannabis dispensaries. "On most occasions, we're taking that same cash to the tax people to pay their taxes so we know that we can reconcile the sales with the taxes," said Mr. Campbell. "Therefore, there's no criminal enterprise going on underneath and the bank can be more certain that these enterprises are meeting the federal requirements."
Mr. Campbell spoke of how Blue Line assists new dispensaries and cultivation facilities acquire their cannabis licenses in states new to the marijuana industry. "We want to expand going forward into each of the states as they legalize cannabis. (Local dispensaries) need to be able to get their licenses. It helps them to get their licenses if they're using the right guards and the right transportation company. When I say right, I mean the one with the best and the biggest reputation. We think we have both."
