Citigroup Tells Marijuana Dispensary To Stop Poaching Its Name And Logo

Harsh, man.

Citidank, a California pot dispensary, has come under fire from a similarly named New York bank whose logo resembles that of the newly opened marijuana superstore.

Citigroup C, -2.31%  , the parent company of Citibank, reached out to the dispensary after the Post dropped a dime on the small business, asking the bank if there was any connection.

“Unless you are as high as a kite, you know that Citi isn’t affiliated with this business in any way and we have requested that they stop using Citi’s name and logo,” said Danielle Romero-Apsilos, a spokeswoman for the $182 billion banking giant.
