    Anyone get a license yet ?

    How does the LCB expect the retail stores to be operating by June if nobody is licensed to grow until at least March 1. More likely March 21 would be the absolute soonest a license could be issued due to the 3 week delay to allow for local jurisdiction objections. Make it April 1-- you need a...

    Anyone get a license yet ?

    More cluelessness: They are allowing only 2 million square feet of canopy in WA. 1000 applied for Tier 3 licenses that can have up to 30,000 sq ft.That equates to 30 million sq ft of potential canopy 1000 applied for tier 2 for a potential of 10 million sq ft of canopy So that's 40 million...

    Anyone get a license yet ?

    Here's how clueless the WA LCB is: >>>In the event retail applications exceed the allocated amount for a given city or county, the Liquor Control Board will conduct a lottery witnessed by an independent third party. <<< Ya think? 2200 applied for the 350 allowed stores. Gonna take a LONG time...

    banks dont allow revenue from marijuana

    Well yeah if your business name is "I GROW AND SELL POT!!!" you may run into problems when dealing with the bank and/or IRS. However if you just call yourself Joe Blow's Wholesale Nursery, who is to know?? They ask say hot house plants- orchids, begonias, basil---- stuff like that

    So- you actually applied for a license to produce pot and got turned down by the LCB? Did they turn you down after the phone interview or after you submitted your plans -- and if so, why?

    The I-502 Application Process and Operating plan

    Let's see now, been 2 months since the application window closed and still no phone call They probably have a max of 10 people processing the applications, each doing 4 a day.That means they are doing 40 a day. 2800 / 40= 70 working days or 14 working weeks. Add a month for local input after...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    One nice thing about my legislature-- it only lasts two months so everyrthing gets done by the end of Feb. no keeping you hanging on for months and months like congress does. The ban on pot bans WILL have an up and down vote by the end of this month and it becomes effective IMMEDIATELY if...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    Well well well! A WA House bill that would ban bans on pot passed a bipartisan commitee 9-0 and there is a public hearing on it today Basically any mortorium or zoning ordinance concerning pot businesses become null and void and they must treat marijuana growing just like any other...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    I asked the LCB last summer when I started converting if my non attached outbuilding was to be considered part of my residence and they said no, as long as you are not LIVING in it and use it strictly for business you should be fine. I think one more stipulation is that they have easy access to...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    I got a call from the LCB asking me the size of my Tier 1 canopy-- it's far less than the 2000 sq ft allowed so if they reduce it down by 80% to 400 sq ft max it's no big deal for me- Just waiting now for one of the biggest phone calls of my life. It is a weeding out process and once you get...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    Another thing I am doing is not choosing a name for my business that obviously shows that I am growing pot. When I go to the bank to open a business checking account, I will simply tell them I am a wholesale nursery, and my business name will back that up-- Northern Lights nursery. I am...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    I am growing in a converted outbuilding not attached to my home- so no 4th amendment conflicts as long as I use the facility strictly for growing pot-- and give them a key probably so they can conduct a surprise visit whenever Puget sound energy schedule 8 applies since the power usage...

    So you want to grow legally under 502?

    Here's the math for my power bill POWER CONSUMPTION FOR 3 VEGETATIVE CUBICLES AND NURSERY CUBICLE $3724 12 lights at 432 watts each = 5.184kw/hr x 24 hours a day = 124.416 kwh per day x 365 = 45411.84 kwh per year assuming 8.2 cents per kwh that = $3724 a year Note: if 18 hour days were...
