How to Start a Cannabis Dispensary Business | Legally
How do you start a dispensary business legally in your state without having to worry about the boys being on your back? ( code for cops)
Now in this video, I’m going to break down the start-up cost, expenses, and, most important, the profits of getting into the cannabis industry.
Questions I’m going to answer
– Is worth it

Ps: Some articles say 500k-2million ( however that’s just crazy) is kind of like people that think it takes a million to get into real estate; it’s all about how creative you get legally.

I think the cannabis industry is still in its infancy in my opinion, since not that many years ago when I was a teenager it was still illegal, but I think it has alot of untapped potential also
Tommy isn’t the guy to go to for this info. Be careful with people who sell info on ish they don’t do. They typically don’t know what they are talking about.
Who need a plug and already has clientele? Hmu, let’s work. Got good pounds going for $1500 straight from Cali. I’ll plug you up, looking for a solid reliable partner who isn’t on no fed shit. I’m a grower up in northern Cali but I can also ship. My line up there hit me☝️
Gotta have $4 million liquid in Illinois bro. License alone is $500k. Only the big boys get to play.
It cost to much in my state the license cost a quarter of a million in nys
I think that the best Business
A pound is 448
Well technically federal law enforcement can raid your business and arrest you under Federal law supersede state law
If weed is legal in your state can you grow it and sell it out of your own dispensary? And still sell to other dispensaries if you have you license to?
I have my own app (smoke dispenser)
For funding Workers
I think you can bro I know where a dispo is right by a preschool
I have land to grow I’m looking to lease acres.
Yo isn’t there 448 grams in a pound? A quarter ounce of pot is 7 grams and so forth……
Can you use your dispensary license in any state
Lol what a loud of bullshit. Dude doesn’t even own his OWN dispensary yet he’s telling us how it works haha
A bunch of blunt statements
Appreciate all the knowledge.
How are you giving advice on how to own a business that you don’t even own? It seems as if most of your channel consist of just regurgitating financial knowledge you found in literature and giving advice on owning business that you yourself don’t own…
I’m tired of seeings pts on medication that some don’t work. When this works!!!
my dream is become an owner.
Very interested
As a small business owner already, these calculations are very rudimentary. It would be more interesting to see you bring operational costs into this as well as cost of acquisition and fulfillment. Marketing costs, licenses, average real estate costs, supply chain costs individually are nice, but putting them together and formulating a suggested retail price, a strategy for market capture, some padding for unforseen expenses, and a true idea of startup costs overall would have taken this video to the next level. Also as far as this market is concerned, I don’t know if traditional methods for raising capital will support marijuana. What alternatives are friendly to the marijuana industry for funding?
I love it because it can life you out of poverty
Can u apply for my license if u accountant please?
Ok, a Homeboy doesn’t Represent God. David
Fuck da legal way
Yeah Ok pal , I’m good having my private farm in the Caribbean
what abt rules/regulations on leasing an office space, that i mortgage, to a cannabis retailer? like can you lease out an office/retail space that is part of a building that is currently under mortgage?
My problem is, I wanna buy my weed from my local plugs lol Fuk the government
Who do they buy the cannabis from ? Who is allow to sale cannabis to a dispensary ?
Also, you’re misleading viewers. You can open a cannabis business without getting the state license. Depends on what business model you’re applying for. Delivery services, cafes, speakeasies, social clubs are totally different from dispensary licenses. Remember, just because you Google something doesn’t mean it’s a fact! I operate a cannabis business right now with just a simple DBA file. Also, some dispensaries do require you to have 6 figures to get started. Stick to accounting dude!!
Thumb nails a lie you’ll probably make a lil over 500 per pound
What size are the dime bags you’re talking about? 2×2
1.5 x 15 ?
Dam you in the Cannabis industry too? Lol! This is my lane all day here on the west coast so my ? Is where do you operate at? Name of your company etc? I asked you this about the lender thing.. Ok, very weird that someone who doesn’t operate in any of these businesses is giving advice..Oh yeah, you just Google the topic, get some quick details then upload a video like you’re seasoned.
This is an amazing wave 💯👈🏾
I like to use weed to relax.
I wanna start my own business making foods spots and everything like that
Good info.i wanna start my own dispensary now that new Mexico is barely legal

You told us prices for the product.. but yoy never said how or wjere or who to get it from.
I love it and I am going to do it thank you for the viable information.
They have the license to give out. They’re just putting a hold on the business for big corporations. They wanna make the money off of it first. Political criminals.
Do you have your own store?
great video but fyi cannabis is not paid by any health insurance due to it not being legal Federally….
everyone around the bay area is growing in there own house or rent a house cost less than 100k to start growing & about 18-36 light per house that is about 45-90 pounds every 3 month , after the first 3 month harvest people usually trying to cycle the harvest to 7weeks per harvest , if you know what you doing probaby 45-60pounds every 7 weeks with 200 amp of electricity . normal house only support 100 amp but you can upgrade it.
$6k pound? You crazy af
Your information is not exactly accurate.
This was not very good…..sorry. It lacked depth and you seem to be conflicting your message, a lot!
