Starting a Medical Marijuana Business

First Black Woman to Own a Marijuana Dispensary in Colorado

Have you ever given a thought of starting your own medical marijuana business?

Like many other entrepreneurs, Wanda James tried it all. She was a military officer, restaurant entrepreneur, and member of President Obama’s national finance committee, but the most rewarding success was being the first black woman to own a marijuana dispensary in Colorado. In 2009 Wanda and her team opened up their very own marijuana store in Colorado, making them the first African Americans licensed in Colorado. Her shop is called Simply Pure. They are considered the first Black edible makers in Colorado too. Regardless of her extensive background of professional jobs, Wanda believes that the product is not as bad as the law makes it seem.

Wanda James

Her believes are that of black or brown people should not get penalized for consuming marijuana while the white men make all the money through the marijuana business. She firmly believes that she can make a change when people look at the product.

She believes that individuals should be aware of the product, and its benefits. She strongly suggests that the product should not penalize society nor should there be criminal charges due to a marijuana joint. The stigma of marijuana being a “drug” is inevitable with people that are convinced it is a drug. But, starting with one dispensary will encourage others to do business in the cannabis industry.

Starting your own business that will stand out is key. Just like Wanda your medical marijuana business needs to stand out from the rest. She has had a successful business since, and continues to grow every day.

There is a quiet revolution going on. A revolution that has been a long time coming. One that’s making average Americans millions of dollars selling a product that’s been around for centuries.

In November of 2016 big cannabis news came in when the United States approved for California, Nevada, Arizona, Massachusetts, and Maine to legalize the use of recreational marijuana. Just as they have already done so in Colorado. Other states such as Florida, Montana, North Dakota and Arkansas, got approved for the use and sale of medical marijuana. This is bound to occur since most states already have the rule implemented in their states.

According to Forbes, ‘Marijuana Industry Projected To Create More Jobs Than Manufacturing By 2020’

What this means is there is going to be a bigger demand  for help in the cannabis business. As the numbers of jobs increase the number of money coming in the business is going to be much more. The legal cannabis market was worth an estimated $7.2 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 17%. Medical marijuana sales are projected to grow from $4.7 billion in 2016 to $13.3 billion in 2020. Adult recreational sales are estimated to jump from $2.6 billion in 2016 to $11.2 billion by 2020.

Have you ever given a thought to open your own marijuana dispensary business?

Open your first successful marijuana dispensary.

According to the California State Board of Equalization, there are 500 marijuana clubs/dispensaries in California that bring in an estimated $870 million to $2 billion in revenue annually.  There are a couple of things that need to be considered before starting up your business.

Dispensaries are composed of several different components. There is a dispensary manager, growing manager, delivery manager, delivery agent, security staff, and marketing. All of these positions are components that will run a successful marijuana business.

Dispensary Manager: Develops organization visions, implements policies, manages strategy development and monitors financials, and productions. The dispensary manager has the overall purview of finished product, from logging in inventory as it arrives in the dispensary, to accounting for cash at the end of the day.

Growing Manager: The growing facility manager is responsible for the overall operation of the cultivation center. He/she insures that the plants are tended to, organic only nutrients are applied, quality assurance is tested both on the soil and the finished product. The product needs to be kept up to both legal and operational standards.

Delivery Manager: The delivery manager is responsible for insuring safe and accurate delivery of medical marijuana to patients who request it. The delivery manager controls drivers’ manifests, insures that the proper product is recorded before it leaves the dispensary, and accounts for the receipts of the drivers routes.

Dispensary Agent: This is also known as “Budtender”. They offer advice and service to patients, and provide direction on which strain may work for a particular ailment. They are responsible for proper cash handling and log in sale transactions.

Security: The security team is responsible for insuring the safety of the employees, the patients and the facilities themselves. They will patrol the grounds, observe through closed circuit cameras, and interface with management to help document any weaknesses found in the system.

Marketing: The marketing manager will work to achieve greater market share, make patients aware of our presence, and use traditional media and social networks to attract new patients as well as retain current patients.

Have you ever given a thought of making money in the cannabis business?

Now, that many rules and regulations are much for lenient for medical marijuana patients, there is an open window of opportunity for consumers to get a hold of the product. Dispensaries and medical marijuana shops are making it fun for patients to confidently come in the shop and purchase as much as they need. Freebies are given away to new patients, no wonder there are returning customers in their business. Often times dispensaries compliment their customers by giving them a little something for stopping by. In the medical marijuana dispensaries, you will find bud flower, edibles, oils, wax, hash bar, etc. Dispensaries are composed a several needed services such as:

Budtender: These are the general staff that will accommodate the consumer with the proper amount of cannabis products the consumer needs.

Cultivators: Growers are ultimately the main resource dispensaries. The medical marijuana dispensary can have multiple growers they can make business with.

Transporters: The transporters specialize in moving the product from the growing site to the dispensary.

Security: Dispensaries will also need the proper staff to verify the patient is properly documented with doctors recommendation and ID. Most medical marijuana businesses have surveillance in and outside their location for security purposes. This is a very important service that dispensaries need to have since many states strictly enforce that patients are properly accounted for any product that goes out of the shop.

There are many ways you can make money in the medical marijuana businesses. There are also several steps you need to take to make sure your business runs smooth and successful. This is why starting with the right business plan can get you very far. The key to growing a business is marketing. Advertising your business will allow many consumers or people that need your services. For example, there are many cultivators that need to sell their leaf buds to dispensaries and/or manufacturers. In order to have the right audience, you have to have the right advertising technique to market your business. Connect with 420 Biz Connect to start your medical marijuana business plan today.

“Legalize  it,  tax it, have the Post Office Deliver it. Three problems solved!”- Jimmy Kimmel

Legalize it! Yes I said it.

In November of 2016, the State of California passed Proposition 64 by popular vote, which makes it  the 5th state to legalize the use of recreational marijuana for adults over 21 years of age. Yes, you read it right! The state of California is now going to be able to use marijuana for regular usage. There is no need for you to be terminally ill to enjoy a good cannabis brownie.

In even better news, Trump administration will also make Cannabis a ‘Schedule 3’ drug. Which doesn’t make it illegal, but it gives cannabis users an advantage to carry their substance with no problems with the law. Members of Congress have re-authorized a federal provision prohibiting the Justice Department from interfering in state-authorized medical cannabis programs. What this means that the United States Federal government will authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.

Marijuana Business License

Marijuana Business License

At this moment Federal regulations label cannabis as  a Schedule I drug, which means not only is it against the law, it can be used to enhance charges on people that get caught violating other laws that may tie the product. For example, transporting marijuana from one to state to the other is still considered a felony if you do not have the proper licenses. Whether both states have legalized it is still punishable by law if you do not have the proper licenses to transport. Whether it is the actual flower, edible, etc. by law you have to have the proper licenses. Not any more!

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AND CANNABIS ON April 15 ,2017

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will reclassify marijuana as a “Schedule Three” drug on April 15, 2017, essentially legalizing medicinal cannabis in all 50 states with a doctor’s prescription, said a DEA lawyer with knowledge of the matter.

Start your Cannabis Business with the right license.

What is a collective? under the state law, any business that is identified as a dispensary, edible company, delivery service, grow business, is considered a collective. As of now the Medical Marijuana Act MMA also known as ‘420SB’  is still set in place which allows the sale and cultivation of medical marijuana to medical patients.

Every successful dispensary follows all Attorney General enforced guidelines that ensure the security and non-diversion of marijuana grown for medical use. Those guidelines are outlined in the Health & Safety Code 11362.81(d)
