Starting a marijuana dispensary

How hard would it be??? It crossed my mind earlier. I know how to grow, and I could get it running pretty quick for several patients.

I mean I really have put some serious thought in to it. I thought maybe have it for certain patients only...Not allow it open to everyone. Make the customer feel welcome. Have weekly drawings...The more you buy the more your name gets put in the pot. You know something cheesy like that. Let the customers choose the strains...Most dispensaries buy their bud from other people...They buy it from outdoor growers, indoor growers, and some grow some of it themselves.
I would imagine you would need a huge grow op just to support the patients in order not to have to buy from outside sources...That's where you get fucked. Costs too much money.
Like I said have it only open to a certain number of customers at first not making much money, and then once you get the word out open it up to everyone. People would come pouring in wondering what it's all about. Thing is you would have to be ready, and be able to support them all when you finally get them in the dispensary...Otherwise you won't last long.
It would be worth it to me to get raided by the DEA to have something like this.

Yea, but I've been talking for awhile about moving. I can afford to move, but not sure the kind of requirements to open a dispensary...As far as what they would allow me to do.

the only problem I could see with limiting the customer base is that I see that as not helping the patients in mind. as a dispensary u want to help all you can that have a doctors rec.

Well, just at first. Make people wonder how these people got in, and drive them crazy with anticipation. That way once you open it to everyone they would just come pouring in to get a closer look, but like I said you would have to be prepared...You would have to have something that set you apart from the rest of the dispensaries to make them keep coming back.

Yea, I guess that's true. I don't know I haven't really sat down, and drawn out a plan because there is a lot of work involved...I'd have to read up about it first to see what I would have to do in order to get a license to start one.
Just seems to me that people would want to know whats on the inside, and once it opens to the public people would come in even if it was just to see...If your prices, selection, customer service, etc were all good then I feel like some of those people would come back again.
People are always looking for something new. Now, I don't know what I could do that some other dispensary hasn't already done, but I'm sure I could find something.
Have like a lounge with a projector with movies etc...I mean I'm just talking right now, but you get what I'm saying I think.

I know several "private" dispensaries that are very successful. They were just so popular that they had to limit the amount of people that can come. You can be very successful even if you dont let everyone in, good luck

you also might consider being a delivery service rather than a storefront dispensary. seems like it would be a lot easier to start up, less risky for security, etc. i know of at least one delivery service in ca that does online ordering (and then real life delivery of the order) pretty successfully.

Ah...Delivery. I like that. I could keep my grow completely hidden, and never have a place to have raided...That would be the shit. Maybe have a small little shop involved with it as well.
