How are dispenaries open

So ive recently been given the chance to possibly open a dispensary, but how are these dispensaries even open if the law states their not allowed to be? What are the steps i would have to take to even be able to open one, would i need a patient card or would i be fine with as a caregiver?

Read last weeks Willamette Week. They are not "dispensaries", they are co-ops.

“Weed, The People” | Willamette Week | January 12th, 2011

It's a good read. Although I do not agree with all the people they interview.

thank you SO MUCH!!
