and the worst part of it all " I never learened to read!"
Obviously.:jointsmile:
every one has their own thoughts about opening a clinic
If you have choosen this business to maintain a rich and opulant life style then please and I repeat once again please find a nice safe place to hide in,make sure you have some one you trust to hold enough money for your legal defense[you will need it]when they close your doors you lose every thing you have gained and a whole lot more,ask Don Duncan,after his club was robbed by the terrorest DEA and all assets frozen-yes frozen- his home was threatened with sizure for sales tax-which was in one account that was frozen and he had to arrange a payment plan with the state franchise tax board,in total his shop was robbed and over 500,000.00 dollers and all the meds,now call me stupid but gee I fail to see how this morps into getting rich from dispenserys,I know,I have been there-done that-and have pictures,there is a whole lot of finger pointing and would of should of and could ofs going on here,walk a mile in the shoes of the freedom fighters that dare to open even with all the risks involved,if you think its for the money or the so called glory then think again,most of us that choose to do this do it for our own reasons-mine was to insure the best meds for a loved one and that was evolved into a lifes work,now I hope every one feels good with the meds that they have,and thank those dumb guys that went so far as to thumb their noses at the man-all it takes for evil men to run amok is for good men[and women ] to do nothing,join ASA,or NORML or any other org. that are fighting for your right to have good MMJ,if every one spent as much time fighting for their rights as they do fighting each other this would not even be a topic.
take a moment today to talk to one person,just one,anyone, about this wonderful herb that has such power,look at the money spent to keep it illegal,if we all spent one doller,yes just one doller on helping the fight then we would win this battle in a few months,money runs this world and ASA,NORML and all other orgs need you,join the fight,don't stay on the side lines,we need you and believe me you surley need us.
Stay safe and bless all the patients that rely on MMJ,you are why we fight this battle-not the money,not the time in jail not the fun in having our lifes ripped apart,patients are the only reason.
Hi all
I did a bit o researchin
step
1. get your state id card(med)
2. hire business attourny to tell you all the liscence's and permit's you need in your area.
thats as far as i got anyone else?:rastasmoke:
Store front or delivery service, get a business license first. You are selling a Herb...in a Health Store enviornment, end of story...
But before you get that BL, sit down with a city or county elected official..ask what the feelings are about the community being served......do local LEO allow it? Has the city/county banned it?
You want to go against city and local officials, they will and do call in the DEA...but with the budget cuts now days, the DEA is not doing much with the medical marijuana states.
Federal Funds for CAMP, the program every fall, across the nation to go into parks and pull the plants..well, its been cut financially, from $560B to $170B...now that is sending message to the DEA...
Do a delivery service first and get your feet wet. Businesses are always chartible but they are NOT charity.........and therein lies the big difference.....Poor people cannot help poor people, rich people can...learn that simple principal for your business operation.
:thumbsup:
This is the most important thing, it cannot be stressed enough.:thumbsup:Quote:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
ok since nobody here wanted to answer the question
i started to research and ask questions so i got as i said before
1. get recomendation
2.get state MMJ id card
3.get a business laywer ,i called one they want $4000
to setup a non-profit co-op (i guess only legal way to open)
not sure, so i called the city business liscence center and they
told me they would not issue me a liscence and transferred
my call to the city attourny's office where they asked for my full name and told me that being a non-profit does'nt make over $1000
so it does'nt need a liscence. so i'm stuck i really wish someone would just answer this question! i know have undercover cops watching my house:mad: so i will continue my quest for the correct way to open a MMJ coop and then tell all of you how!
i will not be opening one as law enforcement in my city will have me arrested immediatly i will not be medicating with it anymore as i know they will arrest me and i am way to sick to goto jail without all my other medications, life sucks!
What city are you in!?
Did you read the link I provided? That school is designed just for this purpose. I'm sure that these people have done the research to make sure things are done right.Quote:

sounds like they are focusing on things todo with it not the lagal aspects of opening a MMJ place i will look into it more i found thier main link
Oaksterdam University
there is also a group in southern california offering caregiver classes: http://.org/caregiver_training.lasso
i will continue my quest for the info on opening is it you just need to start a non-profit and that does'nt require a business liscence??
if you know how but don't want to say here hit me up on msn
cannabis should be grown because you love the process of growing it. or because you want to help other people
its not good thinking of ripping people off for such high prices for a beautiful plant. if you want to start a business and profit do it on something else other than cannabis. thats what gives cannabis a bad name
psycho4bud hey i checked them out and they have classes
teaching the legal aspects thx you rock!!:thumbsup:
texasgrass hey is it legal in texas ?? i thought it was'nt
and i also thought like you and many others that people were price gouging and prices were just crazy high but i looked into opening up a store and i found out why prices are so high
don't expect price's dropping anytime soon caregivers/growers
want too much for thier product then you got all the bills to run a business, then the fed can come #@$ you at anytime! so nobady is gonna risk 40yrs for pennies!:cool:
Go for it man!! we live in a capitalist society! you best believe all of the hydroponic stores are getting their money's worth.Hell it's a risk to run mmj service.You should have something to fall back on.
Probably the best advice. You know that either two things are going to happen - 1 that your going to get raided and probably lose everything or mostly everything - or 2 - that you dont get raided and the elections change something for the better...Quote:

maybe with the cuts more dispensaries is a good thing - overgrow the government
Its up to you, but GL with the business, and keep it 100% legal
That's impossible since it's still illegal according to the Feds. There will always be problems until that goes away.Quote:

Are you serious, how can people afford NOT to grow out there. What do pounds go for 7k? $75/ eighth thats coke prices.:jointsmile:
no what; I THINK IF THAT GUY HAS ALREADY BEEN IN JAIL IT WOULD BE ONE STRIKE AND HE IS RISKING AS SECOND FOR "GETTING RICH" GOING TO JAIL FOR A SHORT TERM--THEN WHAT! STRIKE #3 FOR A DWI OR WHAT? The only Co-op's I've seen that work are by the workers themselves; they produce and share! Heck, it is just a weed we are talking about! A weed, some of us need! Our current President has a history of drugs and hasn't done anything about medical values, in fact, made things worse for legal medication. Even that is outrageous now! Better to grow something if you aren't a chemist! In Eureka, they do have food Co-op's and they are reasonable to the members. IT SEEMS A CO-OP WOULD BE A MEMBER ONLY ORGANIZATION! Just a thot!:thumbsup:
Wow, so glad Im up near Northern California....Couldn't afford to smoke down south...wow $70-90 a 1/4 retail here...top end gdp,royal purp, sour d, and kush.
I have looked into opening a co-op just recently. There is a moratorium on opening one that was just extended until next May. What you have to do is buy somebody elses license which starts at $50,000 (so much for capitalism)
The DEA has no interest whatsoever in busting the co-op owners, in fact they usually do nothing but trash the place and intimidate. I know a few that have been busted and they don't even take their product or cash most of the time. They are looking for untaxed cash and guns for the most part. I don't know any dispensary owners that have been prosecuted so far. The Venice dispensary operates across from the Venice Police Dept on the boardwalk. It's brilliant...
Jerry Brown is trying to pass legislation that all dispensaries operate as a non profit organization which means you would need a 501C I believe it's called to operate a co-op. Good luck man...:pimp:
this probably is the best thing about mmj in texas, YET!Quote:

such a shame, we are far far behind on mmj and i think tx will mot likely be the last of states to approve such measures!
EDIT: police got more to say than legislature around here:(
Texas
another words you're in it only for the money? Because if that is your intention, then you're not helping the medical marijuana community at all! You just become one more burden instead of a plus, and one more nail in the coffin for decriminalization of cannabis!Quote:

I don't think this is the place to be looking for the "hookup" to start this kind of business venture. who exactly are you addressing your post to? if you hadn't noticed the other posts within this realm are now gone.Quote:

lots of you dudes are talking about how to go about setting up co ops and stores BUT i dont see anyone doing any legal research to see WHAT the govt wants.....like they arnt saying you cant make any money they are just wanting you to do it in a certain way and basically from what i see and in my opinion they want to see the money SPRED around as far as possible - ive been reading a lot of your posts in this thread and the others and i dont see an reference to the AG (atty general) guidlines published last Aug/Sept....
watcha homies..... http://www.americansforsafeaccess.or...Guidelines.pdf
remember KNOWLEDGE is POWER
what u see below is being cultivated by a collective who "donates for adequate compensation" their surplus to a local co-op to cover thier expenses pursuant to calif law. the members of the collective are all card carrying MM patients
You're not allowed to grow "for profit" in California. People do it but it's not legal under MMJ laws. If you don't care about the law then don't call it a co-op nor try to hide behind MMJ laws.Quote:
