norkali i reside in redding,ca to get a idea of the MMJ climate here read this: denny vs DEA Fred Gardner: Will Snoops Get Stopped?

psycho4bud i missed the link,but have gone back and looked at it
sounds like they are focusing on things todo with it not the lagal aspects of opening a MMJ place i will look into it more i found thier main link
Oaksterdam University

there is also a group in southern california offering caregiver classes: http://.org/caregiver_training.lasso

i will continue my quest for the info on opening is it you just need to start a non-profit and that does'nt require a business liscence??

if you know how but don't want to say here hit me up on msn

cannabis should be grown because you love the process of growing it. or because you want to help other people

its not good thinking of ripping people off for such high prices for a beautiful plant. if you want to start a business and profit do it on something else other than cannabis. thats what gives cannabis a bad name

psycho4bud hey i checked them out and they have classes
teaching the legal aspects thx you rock!!

texasgrass hey is it legal in texas ?? i thought it was'nt
and i also thought like you and many others that people were price gouging and prices were just crazy high but i looked into opening up a store and i found out why prices are so high
don't expect price's dropping anytime soon caregivers/growers
want too much for thier product then you got all the bills to run a business, then the fed can come #@$ you at anytime! so nobady is gonna risk 40yrs for pennies!

Go for it man!! we live in a capitalist society! you best believe all of the hydroponic stores are getting their money's worth.Hell it's a risk to run mmj service.You should have something to fall back on.

Probably the best advice. You know that either two things are going to happen - 1 that your going to get raided and probably lose everything or mostly everything - or 2 - that you dont get raided and the elections change something for the better...

2 is not likely, and personally i think that you wont get arrested just shut down and everything taken

maybe with the cuts more dispensaries is a good thing - overgrow the government

Its up to you, but GL with the business, and keep it 100% legal

That's impossible since it's still illegal according to the Feds. There will always be problems until that goes away.

All pictures that I post are not taken from the internet, but are of my own illegal operation. Also, I speed and don't come to complete stops at stop signs.

yes, i meant 100% legal according to state

Are you serious, how can people afford NOT to grow out there. What do pounds go for 7k? $75/ eighth thats coke prices.

no what; I THINK IF THAT GUY HAS ALREADY BEEN IN JAIL IT WOULD BE ONE STRIKE AND HE IS RISKING AS SECOND FOR "GETTING RICH" GOING TO JAIL FOR A SHORT TERM--THEN WHAT! STRIKE #3 FOR A DWI OR WHAT? The only Co-op's I've seen that work are by the workers themselves; they produce and share! Heck, it is just a weed we are talking about! A weed, some of us need! Our current President has a history of drugs and hasn't done anything about medical values, in fact, made things worse for legal medication. Even that is outrageous now! Better to grow something if you aren't a chemist! In Eureka, they do have food Co-op's and they are reasonable to the members. IT SEEMS A CO-OP WOULD BE A MEMBER ONLY ORGANIZATION! Just a thot!
