you need to check with your city..alot of them have limits on how many dispensaries are allowed. Then a lawyer to get you started..the dispensary I work at has 2 shops....its so much work, good luck!

Money is not the issue please understand that... I want to do something for the long tern And give the herb the respect it really deserves. By no means do i think this is going to be easy...English is not my first language but I was born here... So I got my challenges already. I want to try and change the quality and experience in a dispensary that I see there is tons of room for improvement here in California. Again thank you for your input I appreciate Everyones help
Dont kno about Cali,but yeah lots of room for improvment. Just not a risk I am willin to take. I can "respect" my gurls by choosin who I deal with. Not everyone deserves my meds, or my time. Good Luck brudda! Hope u don't need it
 
Dr. Dank...Honestly unless you want a huge target on your back for the FEDS I would not do it. Also you open your self up to a lot of shit. Just wait until all these stoners who opened up shops have the mafia come in and extort their ass. Trust me its happening already! Dont act like it wont happen cause it will. The MOB look's for people just like you. Who are you gonna run to the cops?

I understand you are passionate, and that you have plenty of money.

However, it just does not make good fiscal/legal sense to start a dispensary, while LEOs and the DEA are doing smash and grabs all through SOCAL.

Just my opinion. Good luck either way.

Really it works the same way as the living room couch... plasma, xbox, some underaged teenage chicks in skimpy outfits, the super dank, people that know where your couch is... ;-)

Lol haters are gonna hate... Megayields now I'm looking for quality not quantity.... And I never ask for your meds I don't need em! I want the growers and patients to feel welcome and give everyone something no purchase necessary. I want to provide patients with good meds grow advice and help with anything that is possible not trying to cash in lol did that when I was in Florida I'm here to give.

Thanx super when I made this thread I was super medicated :) like now and should have thought about a few things before posting and making myself look foolish. Anyways I hope I can give and provide quality and compassion to the California comunity... I feel that if I do the right thing... Always by the books and respect every single one and show them my gratitude things can go a long way... I'm willing to risk it all. I feel that there are so many unprofessional greedy places that mine should not be a major concern to anyone... I would follow all laws and put my shop at a location where I can almost be invisible to the public eye and always give back... I'm not taking any earning over sea but putting em back on to the dispensary to make it better for the patients... The community and to hopefully give growers what they deserve for their care and love of the herb that way the meds are up to standard . I don't have Internet yet this is all
From my phone so yeah
 
you honestly dont think your asking to be fucked with by organized Crime? hahahaha lol. Wake up buddy. Without protection from someone on the streets who can muscle for you if you need it, I say dont do it.

Well if you must know I've worked for floridas "organized crime at it's best" there has been news papers... tv and all kinda of stuff about cats I knew and maybe me but nothing close.... Or bad :) I just loved growing.... Alot of cannabis hehe
Some people could say they worked like the mafia but they weren't like that... From what I knew...they protected themselves but nostly just a family business taken to insane levels and alot of growth hard working ppl and I respect that because I learn so
Much and will never say their names ever

I try to be nice to everyone and never make enemies unless they attack me first.... I really don't have anyone I dislike.... I try my best to respect everyone and be true to myself so
Hopefully I get myself protection for just being me and randomly hooking and the right individual ;)

Mr Dank I like the passion and heart you sound like you have, maybe be a caregiver to as many TRULY NEEDY patient's as you can and this will give the dispensary scene a chance to figure out what direction it's going in.

like most of you told me to never come to cali.. because of the many reasons... you really have to follow your heart at the end you have to do what you love and love what you do.
