I am in the initial stages of researching a marijuana store. I am considering it because of my age, being a single parent of four and looking at what my future holds in college expenses for my children. I am highly educated having been trained as a scholar-practitioner I do a lot of reading and research. What struck me about your post is the 501c(3). I did not realize operating a marijuana store is done as a non-profit and not for-profit. This is the first I have seen in my research. I am also doing a 501c(3) filing for a non-profit that provides permanent housing to the homeless; so I am familiar with the paperwork.
