The response was that there was a need for responsible, reliable and professional growers who can provide consistent "medical grade" marijuana at a reasonable price. The implication being that people were not satisfied in dealing with drug dealer types who were the only ones providing. This was before the dispensary boom. We already had horticulture experience - a family member is a florist. So, we dove into it. The ASA representative and her spouse took a leap of faith and made us their caregiver. After 6 months they were happily rewarded. And the rest is...history. Note: I had used marijuana during my stint in the military during the Viet Nam era, but not anymore.
