Growing for a dispensary

An easy way to get ahold of me is on AIM. I'm usually on if I'm online here...

Here is an idea of the things you will have pay for to open a dispensary:
1). Legal Compliance: Licenses and certificates
2). Taxes
3). Insurance
4). Security
5). Member Services
6). Rent: for the dispensary and for a commercial size grow-opp
7). Utilities: it takes a lot of electricity and water for a big operation.
8). Grow parts: rooms for diff. stages of growth, reverse osmosis water system, nutrients, mediums, systems, lights, fans (vent, intake, and for hot spots to keep the leaves moving), pH control (up and down) and meters, E.C. and/or T.D.S. meters, odor control, temp & humidity control (in Arizona you need a lot of air conditioning to keep a stable 78degrees), and you have to make all the rooms reflective for good light distribution.
9). Quality control: Make sure the product your giving patients is mold and disease free, free of pesticides, flushed properly, and perfectly cured.
10). Payroll: your employees got to get paid.
11). packaging
+ a lot more in lawyer fees and what not. Do you still want to open up a dispensary?:wtf:

Great info. I'm sure some people think that its going to be like California or Colorado where there are some really sketchy storefronts.

I am sure you know the answer to this, NO, Please do not grow for anyone yet! The laws will be set real soon and you most likely will be a caregiver, if you can not meet the criteria to be a dispensary, ( this is something the Az Health Depart will determine soon),but care givers will be able to grow for 5 patients, 12 plants per patient. Currently we are working with the people who are responsible for getting the bill on the books, and there will be more information very soon.
Visit our web site in the weeks to come , and we will explain in detail the rules and regulations regarding the new law. But if you grow anything in Arizona right now its a felony and you will go to jail, just be patient..

Peace,

Thank You for this post.
Too many people are not getting the right information about the laws, etc.. If you are not already part of the Phoenix NORML meetings I encourage you to join everyone, the 3rd wen. of every month for there meeting.

you have gotten good info but not all accurate. to answer the question can you grow for a dispensary? You can not be on a dispensary payroll unless your an agent for them. You can negotiate with a dispensary in regards to your harvest prices. Growing styles vary from the cheap to the very pricey and that is between you and them. there is some room for adjustment.

Almost everyone in AZ will be allowed to grow the first year, we are in the process of adding a collective to our website now to connect growers with patients when the trigger gets pulled in April.

I am familiar with medicinal marijuana and was a cardholder and grower in MI. Looking to get involved in AZ...contact me if interested

You will not have to be a patient specific to a single dispensary under the AZ rules. AZDHS is fond of the idea that people have a right to chose where they go. I could take 1 plants worth to 12 different places if I wanted to donate that way.

I just wanted to clarify that for everyone
