We have gone over this topic on other threads.I suggest you go over some of the stuff that has been posted on this.Once you start making money you are creating an environment that cultivates law enforcement investigations.

Rico Act investigations by WSP organized crime units are a fact of life for co ops and dispensaries,and their members or participants here in Washington State.

What you don't know about Rico and organized crime will be be your downfall.If you see this activity here and you don't think that it is being investigated simply because of Satterburg's memorandum,you are mistaken.

On the other hand if you grow your own and have less than 15 plants and 24 OZ,and you show no affiliations,live in King or Pierce county you will be fine.

If you belong to a co op,go to a pot club,live outside King or Pierce county you will more than likely have trouble at some point.Do not mail in any information to a co op or pot club.If you care about the patients you would not be asking them to do this.A phone call to a doctor should be all you need.The only reasons to request information by mail are bad reasons...
sandybarr Reviewed by sandybarr on . Q's starting a dispensary in Seattle? I am looking to open a MMD co-op in the Seattle area for those who suffer from a terminal illness (like myself). I have a business plan and the espertise in running a business but I'm hitting major roadblocks in starting a MMD. I know what I want (lets call this A) and how to run it (lets call this C) but what i dont know is the legal/business framework to starting a MMD (lets call this B). How do I get from A to B to C? Can anyone give me some advice on what I need to do to get this Rating: 5
