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

Looks like from the web site that they have something like a job placement for graduates or at least they have dispensaries that post job openings on campus, something like that.
 
I have had the privelage of working a few clubs in hollywood area. What you have to do is find a city that does not have a moratorium on clubs, then find a building that the landlord lives far away. Open club. You can go to the city council and try to get permission but this method has failed more than it suceeded. Most clubs that are open in the bay area did just as I explained. You must be willing to spend $$$$$$ on security , as if the city finds you that is what they like to see. CANORML has all the info you need. Also get a good lawyer with experience in this there are a couple in Cali that do great work.
 
I would rather find an old timer and really get the jest of it.Just like school they teach you the basics,you graduate and jump into the real world.Your real learning comes from doing it.:bigjoint:
 
Yeah, I would have to agree with Herbologist... only in this particular field.... getting a good amount of experience before you even step into a classroom would be a lot more beneficial. Then going out and trying newer, bigger, more exciting things will be easier to accommodate.....
 
Well with the new AG opinion in CA, you will have to make sure that your dispensary is formed as a non-profit co-op or collective and you will have to document it just like you would any other business and pretty much prove if needed where you buy from and who you sell to and how you are not supporting the black market.

Now if you know anything about true co-op's then you will probably understand why 90+% of these dispensaries will be organized as a collective. But if you do choose to go co-op with it you MUST register the co-op with the state. If you don't know what a co-op is then read this Statement on the Co-operative Identity you have to meet all the requirements and since most people want ownership this won't work to well.

that would be really chill too. But i think its a great idea, i would attend if there was one in Long Beach. it would be a great way to meet those connections and hopefully learn from an actual ol timer." I'm sure some students would have a been around the block a time or two.

Would anyone else be willing to at least check it out if there was one nearby where you lived?
 
Sure, a lot of people would; but it takes the right kind of mindset to truly make it workable for both parties. I mean apprenticeships are hard to come by for a reason, lots of ungrateful, irresponsible, greedy, big mouthed people out there if you know what I mean. Could be bad news for an old timer that is just trying to do some good...
 
Anyone know what you need to open a delivery service??? I will go back and re-read this thread.

Actually, the AG opinion calls for them to be "not for profit", which is very different than "non-profit". I know, it sounds similar, but in practice it's very different. Basically, not for profit means that you make enough to cover overhead, costs, and salaries of your employees, but the rest gets rolled back into helping patients and growing the operation.

There is no difference between non-profit or not-for-profit, it is in name-only (semantics, in other words). Sometimes people referred to these differently to help convey what the intent of the organizations is with regards to any profits or overages made by the organization.

However, there is a difference between a 501(c)(3) non-profit and one that doesn't have this status, one has the ability to allow donations to be tax deductible because of an allowance granted by the IRS and the other doesn't. This is a common misconception, I was very actively involved in a non-profit that at times flirted with the notion of registering as a 501(c)(3) but never did.

But don't take my word for it:
