The applications for MJ business will not open until Nov 2015. My only problem is the DEA. MJ is still illegal under federal law so DEA could kick in the door if they wish, and my plant count would be stupid high, something like 1000+ plants. Anything over 99 is mandatory federal jail time.
I want to see how much they want for a lic, I dont have a ton of money to burn, hopefully its only 10K for a clone shop. I personally think I should pay the lower end of the spectrum because I dont have any significant ammount of THC in my clones.
I dont know how you will make a "smoking" cafe. There is a non smoking law in anchorage. There are other parts of the state where you can burn one inside. Kenai, Soldotna.. etc.. It might work there.
