I admit to being gun-shy and very skeptical at this point. My partners and I have spoken to 5-6 outfits by now who want ridiculous amounts of money to "help" us get a license. The lowest was $5K and the highest was $50K! If there are people out there putting their $50K towards paying someone to "help" them instead of putting it into the coffers to support the business during the first two years, they are idiots. And NONE of these outfits will tell you exactly how it is that they have "inside connections" or "insider knowledge" that is worth thousands of dollars to anyone. They want you to pay without telling you what you're paying for.

So what are you guys offering and what are you charging for the services?

We started as an organization that decided to "watch over" AZ as the "green rush" hit us.

We dropped a dime on Kind Clinics after they claimed to have insider info and close ties to Will and his staff.

We dropped a dime on Medical Marijuana LLC for running classes on opening a dispensary, when in fact the classes contained less info than would be found in this thread.

And last but not least, Allan Sobol. We dropped way more than a dime on this guy. More like a fifty dollar bill.
On behalf of us all, thank you.

One of the reason is we threatened to abolish the black market weed industry in our town. With prices around $250/oz the street dealers will be out of business shortly.
Our plan parallels yours in this regard. Our revenue projections are based on $200-250 ounces. I've always operated under the assumption that top shelf organically grown and carefully processed buds are worth $150-250 per ounce. I'll leave it at that.

#1- Our G.R.O. Program Public Proposal to AZDHS
Is this available somewhere? I haven't run across it yet.

#3- Our facility offers "the Even Trade Program" for indigent patients. they can trade local community service hours for medication.
Excellent. Our bp includes paying employees to volunteer in the community for 8 hrs every month and a "scholarship" program whereby people who are struggling financially can be sponsored by the community/dispensary/members. But I really like the idea of those folks being able to volunteer in the community and earn credit at the dispensary. Wonderful.

Beyond just helping our brothers and sisters who need cannabis and deserve to be able to access it safely, I see this as a great opportunity to do some really big things for my hometown. Gaia knows that Arizona towns can use all the help they can get.
