Need Info on MMJ suppliers. Please!!

Does anyone have any information on what it would take to become a state licensed provider that is able to dispense his medicine through legit collectives? My boss has asked me to look into the feasability of such an operation since they already have between 2500-3000 sq ft of warehouse space that is in a very secure location. I'm planning on putting together a formal business plan. I suggested it to him about a week ago and he wants to know more now. Talk about my dream job! :stoned: Any suggestions?

If you grow let me know :)

I'm currently growing, but only enough for personal use. I would like to start supplying other patients and am not sure where to start.

I need to know more. What state, for example.

I can probably help you some. I guess you'd email me from here? or gmail and I can give you some iinfo

pm me and I will fill you in on the what you really need to know to make this work. Remember,,,,new rules state all medicine MUST be grown on site.....so your boss should have already known that. anyway....lets talk

Later Gator

@maccraig420: I live in Central Cali and have had a medical card for 2 years now.

@Dadinpain: I'm pretty new here and haven't figured out how to pm yet. Sorry. I live in Cali and the warehouse space is in an industrial area. What do you mean by "on site"? :stoned:

No disrespect I know I'm new to the boards but I would contact several lawyers and get a professional opinion on board...even if someone in this thread is a lawyer you still should have one on stand by at the very least....

After talking to the bosses, they have a lawyer on retainer since they already have a collective that is renting space from them.

Then your looking good....

:stoned:i think you should wait until after the election in nov. if the ballot measure passes it will probably change the entire playing field. it would be a shame to put in all of that work and then find that your business plan is no good anymore. so many things will be changed if that passes that you should at least consider having an alt plan ready to go...if thats even possible. best of luck

We have definitely talked about Prop 19 passing and how that would affect us. It is our opinion/hope that there will still be a market for high grade cannabis. I know that a lot of people will be growing, but not everyone has a green thumb or the space, time, or ambition to grow their own. As long as we keep our focus on QUALITY and not QUANTITY, I think we can still do ok.:jointsmile:

I am not sure how this law is going to affect the ability for the local grower to thrive. Although licenses for small businesses to grow and distribute are going to be available in california, because it is not federally legalized there may be some problems with those enforcement agencies. Also, big corporations have already designed business plans around large scale grows that may push the smaller growers out of business if 19 passes. This is not including the fact that corporations have a lot of money/power and may be able to influence the federal agencies to come in and bust small scale (relatively speaking) growers that may be taking away from their business. This is what could happen, according to my paranoid mind.

Ideally, the passing of prop19 will make Cali like a US Amsterdam. This could bring people from all over the world to cali, bringing an already thriving market out from "underground". The potential for new types of cannabis oriented small businesses would only be limited by the imaginations of the people that aspire to profit from this market. Coops that are already thriving will be able to expand, and specialty shops will pop up wherever the local governments allow. Assuming that people actually continue to care about what they are putting into their body (when it comes to cannabis), private suppliers/distributors would stand to make a good deal of money and the quality of the product would only be improved by not having to continue hiding the majority of operations that are already in place.

However, california will also have a lot more border inspections on the way out, to ensure that people are not going to be crossing state lines with it. This may finally make California the independent country people have always thought it would be. Haha!

Anyway, I will be trying to figure out how I can hop on this train, if 19 passes, because I have come to find that gowing is definitely something I could do for a long time, and selling legally would basically be a dream come true.

AND THIS...

are both great points for people to consider...

Hi, I am curious what the advice was? My friend and I have an abundance of MJ, and would like to take to collective shop to get back under the limits. How do you go about it? Hoping you could share info. Thanks.;)

Quality over quantity will always win.... eventually...
Have 3 Honda's just in case one breaks down? Or one BMW M3 that you can pretty much track as is and you know its going to be fine?
Marijuana works the same way... I'm not going to feed the machine if 19 passes I'd still rather buy and trade from fellow Local Small op's because we do it for the love. Not for the money, its sad that this industry is going to become that...
Just another money whore...
Poor Marijane...:(

Are there any medical marijuana smokers in the chicagoland areas who need a supplier?
