Hello All,

I am new to the forum and am fascinated by the vast amount on info. provided here!

I am interested in opening a dispensary in Colorado and read everything I could find, both on this site and others.

I have a few quick questions that I would greatly appreciate clarification on:

They are as follows:

1- When opening a dispensary does one have to be a care giver prior to opening a dispensary?

2- I know that on Colorado's government health website it says that the Registery does not give licenses to dispensaries, but is a specific license required other than a business/tax license?

3- How does the dispensary get their medicine? Caregivers, vendors/wholesalers? Do they grow themselves and if so how many plants are they allowed to grow?

4- Can they grow and at the same time buy from others to increase their inventory? Or is it one or the other to equal a total legal amount of plants?

5- Is it for profit or non-profit? Is it totally 1000% legal to open and operate without any gray areas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you

nice! not to sure bout the laws man wish i knew more. i do know that the feds cant come in now and shut you down. wish i lived in an area in which i could open one. one day!!

No Man, You cannot just open up and go, medical marijuana was legalized in 97 in co, most of the counties have voted and passed restrictions on them if that was what was decided, however if you go to your countys building department i am sure they will fill you in with all of the information on their restrictions. Take a trip to Summit County, there are dispensaries just popping up there left and right. But if you are serious talk to the county not to bloggers or whatever.

I am currently located in NY, I am not a Colorado resident that is why I have come to this forum...

So you need to take a trip but you should look up the other states with medical marijuana laws some of them are better for caregivers/dispensaries.

Which state(s) are better for dispensaries?

I'm looking for a lot of the same information. I recently became unemployeed and I'm looking for a new line of work. I've seen several people in here looking for a lot of the same info that I am. If anyone would like to share info with me and see what I've found please feel free to e-mail me at luckey.justin@gmail.com.

Thanks

wasnt it passed in 2000, california was in 97 wasnt?

Dr D's post is so full of misinformation that I had to pass on trying to explain it to him.

I keep hearing/reading contradictory information. I live in NY so I can't really go to a county office in Colorado unless I take a trip out there and I don't want to take a trip to Colorado and spend money that might be unnecessary. C


May someone that actually owns or operates a dispensary reply to this thread with factual information...
