What is a medical marijuana cooperative and how is one started?
I'm no expert but :jointsmile: generally a coop or a collective is an outgrowth from a care giver, generally on a wider scale. But, mileage may very, check with Montana's actually laws on the books, (post them if you can find them online, that would really cool :cool: ). Check norml.org and w-e-e-d-m-a-p-s, :p too. both of those sites deliver a wealth of information. :jointsmile:
:thumbsup:You need to start a non-profit corporation with a lawyer to Distribute Med Marijuana. Is that what you are asking?Quote:

I support co ops and the ppl that make them and I hope more will follow suit.
You need to get a business license for the city you are going to run your business in. You should retain a lawyer.
I would suggest that you use a name that lets folks know what you are doing from the get go but is not offensive. Like Medical Cannabis Co-op is honest so they can't come back later and pretend they did not know what you were planning on doing at that business. I would avoid something like Green Bud Bank or The Pot Spot that might be too much in your face in my opinion. So honest but not offensive.
Just my 2 cents.
