How do I start a cannabis store?

[furrysparkle]

I would love to open my own shop, since it seems that no one wants to hire me to grow for them. Has anyone even looked into this, if you have then mind giving me a bit of a head start.

I would love to know someone who sells basic growing stuff and more importantly Healthy Clones. Now being legal people is very curious about learning to grow and dispensaries prices are very high.... Aren't we all?

My business name is my screen name but my state is not legal i love cloning and would sell em dirt cheap if i could and show others how. For now its all written down and ready to roll as soon as my state makes it legal..........................

When you become legal hire me!!

Do you already have at least one attorney with a six-figure retainer? If not, you probably can't afford to get into the legal pot biz.

D-TrainCA is right......that's definitely part of it. Check out Marc Emery and his stores 'Cannabis Culture'. He's an activist and is opening illegal stores all over. But only in Canada you say.

Answering from legal Oregon and trying to make it myself, not easy. Money, lots of it. Lots of dispensaries here have their in house growers basically. Big money came in, they bought land and commercial spaces, hired (or were themselves) ex guérilla growers, they also bought storefronts. About 150 dispensaries now within Portland city limits alone. A couple of mini chain stores too. A shitload of people selling clones on Craigslist too! Even the local grocery store chain carries grow bags now! Or maybe I never paid attention to them before.
While I'm refining my craft, I'm waiting for the cards to fall and bad business plans to fail around town. Most likely will have to move out of the shed and rent a commercial space at some point to be able to compete a bit. Meanwhile I'll keep on growing!furrysparkle move up here, I'll need help!

You may be better staying illegal...
but, depending on how horrible the law enforcement tactics are in your area- making it more of business/compassionate effort by taking on some regular medical patients. At least you may have a leg to stand on or fall in a grey area legally even if you're not fully legal on paper, and you'd be having fun (maybe), making money and helping people out (maybe).
