Ok, So I Want To Open A Dispensary, But How?

No its ok hes from pluto....

ahahaha u guys are a bunch of girls man... i just had to say it. too many weenies on this forum. rep for all the other people though

I am a girl, MAN...

Hey... Hey... Why all the hostility on my thread MAN... haha.... Ya, the reason i want to open a dispensary is because of the good it brings to people like myself.... So, i started this thread with the hope of getting some input, and to share some of my ideas among people intrested in this topic as well. This is peoples medication agmigo, myself included, and i will stand up for it. No ones gonna slap me around...

Secondly, i think we are evolving into an age, where not only will marijuana be accessible to needy patients without fear, it will actually help stimulate this dying ecconomy as well. Thanks George Bush....

And without trying to sound all political, cause i'm not. Obama, will be the next president, regardless of the fact that i'm a Ron Paul supporter. The dudes everywhere, they deffinently got there puppet... And since he has already puplically stated he will review the laws. When he does get in to office, Marijuana laws will be amended.

And Finally, Ganjagoddess, girls who smoke bud are Fucking Hot! I think i just feel in love...

Peace

Ive heard of dispensaries "on wheels" which deliver to the patients. I know they have one in chico.

That is a great way to go about it... I deff. am thinking about incorporating that once i can get it off the ground. Also, i would like to offer 24 hour availability to my clients. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've really wanted to blaze at 3:30 A.M.!!!! So, 24 hours will be an awesome advantage....

Second to that, someone suggested to me to open a store that deals exclusively to people you know, and by giving them a special identification badge, u can monitor who comes and goes.. Which might be the way to go until i can get the money to become legit.... $50k for a license seems pretty steep... and thats just for the paperwork! geeezzzzz.....

Dispensaries provide a much needed service to medical patients who need cannabis for relief of medical issues. They are a profitable business that is actually safe to operate when done in a legitimate manner.

still i think becoming a caretaker would be easier and a little less stressfull. i mean i would love to open a dispensary but i'd be waay too paranoid.

least we live in a state where people are really trying! to make it work. I Love Cali!

i know seriously... California!!!! Anyways, your right, i will be paranoid, if it does all go down (crossing fingers). But i think the main issue to address in that mind set, is your size. Although, you might blow up fast you should still be able to control the pace. For example, closing down for little stints at a time could be healthy...

In my opinon though, the goal would be to stay away from a second and third location. This seems to be the pitfall for many shop owners that i have met. Even though they would be lucrative investments, this is primarly what the DEA looks for.

I hear stories all the time about shop owners, getting busted because they got greedy....

So, TBC...

Check out this article i found about a man in Claremont California who opened a MMD without the consent of the city.... I got mad respect for this guy...

Actually quite the contrary from my understanding. A dispensary "legally", is not supposed to cultivate and sell their own product to patients (although it happens all the time). But rather independent MMD's (Medical Marijuana Dispensary) should aquire their buds from Patients/ Growers, and then re-sell it back to other needy patients.

Although, i'm not sure if this entirely correct since it is just hear say. It does make sense, since they probably didn't want their to be any monopolies when SB420 was first introduced....

One thing to point out however, Is that it can be done "legally" if the owner grows the product off site. i.e. in the convience of his/her own home, and is kept with in the limits designated by that city (example 6 mature 6 immature). Which, mind you, if you had three to four patients you were caring for, you could cultivate their weed for them as well, and in turn sell it at the dispensary...

So theres ways around it, but right now i would say growing your own product and then selling it in your mmd is way to shifty....

btw i reached the 420 view mark right now! So i'm deff. smoking a bowl to that. I love this community!

It totally depends on where you are at.

For sure...

I have been thinking about opening up a delivery service here in the Bay Area but have a baby on the way and have a great job. But it would be nice to work for yourself.

Delivery sounds like a good avenue too. I would just be sketching driving around with all that prepackaged bud, especially in Long Beach. Pigs out here try to catch people ridin dirty all the time!

delivery (in CA) is probably one of the safest to start out with, for a couple of reasons:

1) harder to hit a moving target... delivery services usually don't have a physical address listed anywhere.

2) As long as you aren't hauling lbs's, or doing anything illegal (like driving under the influence...), even if you are pulled over (if you are legal) you don't have to worry too much about getting pulled over. If they yank your product you take em to court and get it back! Disrupts deiveries for the day, but go back to get some more from your stash and business as usual...

3) Verify validity of patient before you are ever face to face, reduces unfriendly encounters.

4) If you don't like the person or situation, never have to worry about them coming back to your location.


But you do have the disadvantages:

1) Gas additional cost (guess this can be offset by not having to pay rent if you don't have a physical location)

2) Limits your daily client (you can only have as many clients as YOU can get to)

3) People like to see before they buy so you will have to have varieties on you, you have to carry more than you need (risk of theft, LEO's, accidents) if you wish of offer a variety. (there are ways around this but you get the general idea of the disadvantage)

4) More than likely you are going to be alone when going to other peoples houses... delivery services get robbed just as easy (if not more) as the pizza guys do...

He's got that right
