Marijuana Business: How to Open and Successfully Run a Marijuana Dispensary and Grow Facility

By: J.D. Rockefeller

Narrated by: Terry Murphy

So you've packed your bags, loaded your van, and are ready to join the "Green Rush" along with thousands of others looking to try their luck at opening and running successful marijuana dispensaries and businesses in states like Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Alaska and others. The business is big: According to CNBC, the marijuana industry in the U.S alone is worth an estimated $45 billion and it continues to grow. As of January 1, 2014, the state of Colorado became to the first have dispensaries where marijuana could be grown and sold legally.

Because of this legalization, medical dispensaries in Colorado are now able to apply for special licenses that allow them to sell marijuana for medical and recreational use to the public. However, the costs of cannabis retail sales don't come cheap: Marijuana dispensaries and businesses can expect to pay tens of thousands on operating licenses and application fees.

Background checks and residency requirements for business owners are there to make sure that not anyone can start their own dispensary and sell marijuana. Today, marijuana dispensaries are not just in Colorado but have grown to other states like California, Alaska, Florida and the like. Marijuana dispensaries have the added advantage in that they don't only have to sell weed to card-holding patients, but to recreational smokers as well.

This should be call how to open a business4dumbies

From listening to this Audible , all I Learned was the write new how to start a grow business they did not teach me how to start but explained repetitively and repetitively more that I would need go research to start. however towards the end of the book when explaining prices and how much I would need 100000 200000 "legal fees", whatever that means, information was finally being highlighted and covered but I feel it was cut short because you stop giving numbers and data and statistics in which I would definitely need more of to run a business if I wanted to know the basics I would have looked for a more basic book. I wanted to know specific prices and information and names on what two invest in when came to starting my own grow business. This obvious information simply told me basic politics in the business.

the worst

why pay money for something that you can get on any single web page. not a group of web pages. this information is repeated on every single web page there's no reason to read this It doesn't sort it effectively It does not provide you with anything more than abstract knowledge there is zero death

garbage

Lame basic info the you could get from a article in USA today. Total scam.

misleading title

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

There is some good information, primarily about dispensaries.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have either discussed Grow Facilities as promised in the title or deleted those 2 words because there is barely a mention of the growing side of the industry.

Did Marijuana Business: How to Open and Successfully Run a Marijuana Dispensary and Grow Facility inspire you to do anything?

It inspired me to find a book that talks about what it says it does.

Don't waste your money!

Terrible, short and poor story. This book tell us something that we already all know, stop profiting from this...

Worthless

I can some of these 23 minutes of very very simply. Marijuana is a growing business with a lot of regulations so you need to hire good people to ensure that you are compliant. There I just saved you money.

Don't waste a dollar on this

What disappointed you about Marijuana Business: How to Open and Successfully Run a Marijuana Dispensary and Grow Facility?

There was literally no information, and as soon as I heard in the beginning that there were dispensaries in Florida, I knew this book was total garbage.

waste of time

the book was nothing but generalizations and only scratched the surface on Marijuana dispensaries. it did not even mention commercial grows or "grow facilities" I am very disappointed with this writer and book. I am and have been in the industry for some time now, and consult for different clients. I decided to listen to some books while on a long drive and can't stress enough how disappointed I am in this material. the only upside to the entire 22 mins is a brief read (less than a min) on what tyoe of ppw a dispensry may need to start. the narrator did well, only criticism would be the pronunciationof the word indica.
