Join the club. No one that is involved with this will post any concrete set of steps you need to take. Here in Calif., the law is in such a state of turmoil that no one knows what to do, or what not to do.
First, I recommend you familiarize yourself with the laws in New Jersey as they are different in each state. Unfortunately, in California, the authorities haven't gotten over the fact that the citizens wanted it to be legal for medical purposes. Undoubtedly, these very same juges, councilpeople, regulators and other officials have a few martinis or more, wine, beer, prescribed medication for their ailments, all the while talking about how bad marijuana is for you, when they don't even know the facts.
California is trying to shut em down in various cities on the ruse that no one can make a profit from them, and the mere exchange of money constitues a profit. I suppose they want people to just give the stuff away to those that have a prescription for it. I also gather that they don't think the grower(s) should even be compenstated for their electricity, water, growing equipment, and/or the gas used to deliver the stuff.
Unknown how it'll all shake out in Calif. Grass should be legal, anyway, for consenting adults over 21. How we as a people ALLOW our government to keep it illegal is a mystery. Good thing is that Obama isn't like the former presidents in this regard. But, the DEA has a bunch of gestapos who just love busting marijuana users, because they have too much time on their hands, and need to keep their jobs.
I am seriously thinking of literally GIVING grass to peope for absolutely no cost whatsoever, and advertising that I'm doing that, and giving people instructions on how to get their medical ID card, and doing this right in front of a police station because it's too difficult to get a permit to open up in a retail establishment.Quote:

i would be just as happy to work at a center also so if anyone looking to open one and looking for employees please contact me
The only way that I know you can open up your own dispensary is you have to get your business license and go to school for other stuff as well for it. Then again I could be wrong but the only thing that I can say is check this website.
Oaksterdam University - Quality Training for the Cannabis Industry ( I was thinking about attending that university myself sometime soon after I get things going for myself right now..)
Sorry that I can't be too much of any help.. same goes for everyone else. Good luck though either way! :jointsmile:
if someone offered me a job at a dispensary i'd move to cali faster than you can say "medicate"
Whats with the cannabis school? would a BS in Biology mean anything to these people who demand it?
there are loop holes, and u dont have to go to school.the classes provided are 2 help people land jobs in a dispensary and learn more about cannabis "including law". u can apply for a buisness license as a herbal product dealer, holistic ailment center,etc....i forget the auctual names but u can look em up online,choose the one that is closest to pot. when it comes to paying taxes u fill out a 1099 form from the i.r.s u pay taxes as a independent contractor.a lot of cities are catching onto this stuff but hell.the club in my town has been operating for years with permits for herbal medicines and alternative health.every one nows about it,shit it was in the paper and still have not been shut down.
Hi, Matt Jacobsen here... I see theres a lot of confusion on this matter (even on this board - when in reality its a very simple process).
If you want to open a dispensary get it from the horses mouth. Ive personally opened six in California.
Ive written a free newsletter with tips, tricks, advice, your states laws and the exact process you need to take for any state you want to operate in.
If you want to know how to do this, get the free newsletter Ive written for this exact purpose at www.start-a-dispensary.com on how to open a dispensary
Ask away if you need additional help or questions.
Regards, Matt
Depends on the state. In California, you are able to. In Arizona, you should be a resident for at least 3 years to be emitted a authorization of dispensary. Varies for state. I wrote an as open a medicinal guide of dispensary of marijuana that answers questions like this and so much more are been engrossed you.
Everything is going to get shut down pretty soon here if we don't pass "Regulate Marijuana Like Wine" bill coming up in the elections next year.
