How do you start providing edibles to dispensaries?

Hello,
I just posted this to the RI board but maybe this question would see more traffic in here. Sorry for the double post.

I was wondering how do you go about providing products in edible form to the compassion centers? Do you have to also be a patient, or licensed somehow?

I'm guessing you probably need to have some kind of set protocols/recipes standardization because the potential for variation (strength, etc.) would be so high.

Thanks for your input!

Talk to the owners.

It also helps to have a background in pastries. Health standards, quality, and variety are also some key things to think about.
