RTFM? Usually good advice. The only thing I've been able to find is:

But this really isn't what I'm looking for. They call it cooperatives, but it's really more a dispensary. This includes requirements for application fees, business licensees, approval hearings with the Board of Supervisors, background checks on employees, hours of operation, having restrooms available to patients, and a lot of other things that make no sense in this context.

I'll probably contact the Sheriff's office next, but I know that they often hostile to mmj patents and don't always give accurate information.

I'm hoping to find others, a small group of patents, who have set up something like what I'm looking to start. I just want to get together with 3 or 4 other patients to share resources and expenses. I have no intention of selling (with the possible exception of selling any excess we have to a legally operated dispensary). I don't want to start a business and don't have the $million+ it could cost to start something like that.

TechnoPagan Reviewed by TechnoPagan on . Alameda County coop vs Dispensary I'm in Alameda County, California, in an unincorporated area. I've downloaded and read the county's requirements for a cannabis cooperative, but what they're talking about is really more of a not-for-profit dispensary. This isn't what I'm looking for. It's a major undertaking requiring large upfront investment that you're hoping to recover. I don't want to start a business. I'm on unemployment and trying to save money till I can find work. I'm starting to grow my own medication. I enjoy Rating: 5
