I had secured the medical marijuana dispensary company license & the license to sell locally, then i diagnosed all the laws around what products I could sell, amounts, promotions, etc.
I felt confident that I could transport onto the next step.
I had the money so all I needed was the building & I could transport on towards more fun things prefer hiring budtenders, talking to a grower & setting up my store, then finding a building was difficult. I kept checking company for sale & looking on zillow! At last I thought I had the perfect arena. I was about to go under contract when I decided that I better hire a medical marijuana consulting service. I thought there would be some unforeseen obstacles since I was dealing with medical cannabis… Thank goodness I hired a woman sooner rather than later. Immediately she told me to stop going forward on the building I was going to put an offer on. I didn’t see that there are local zoning laws. I can’t set up a medical marijuana dispensary right near a college. The cannabis consultant diagnosed the distance & I was much too close. I would have been stuck with a pointless building. Thanks to her I dodged that bullet, and she easily had contacts in the company world & was able to hear about arenas going for sale before they were posted. I was able to swoop in on a building before it went to market. It is a much better arena than what I was looking at before.
