Need Merchant Account for 'High Risk' site

    I'm having trouble finding a merchant account for my site - http://www.growweed.com. I see an informational book on how to grow hydroponic marijuana. Since it's only a book and completely legal to sell a book of this type, I'm stumped as to why it's so hard to find a merchant account. Does anyone know of alternative merchant accounts besides paypal, 2checkout, stormpay, etc..

    Why don't you use instabill.com coz they accept this kind of site.
    The downside of it is the fee is too high.

    Also read the veviews you will find around most forums about instabill.com before you start using them.

    Ask Chronopay if they are able to help you, but your business case is difficult do place for any MSP / MAP.
