Hi I currently reside in California and have a question for anyone that owns or knows some1 that owns a mmj shop, what does it take in terms of start-up? im meaning things like permits, cost of startup+running (rough estimate) legal hurdles, supplying(not who but how) im by no means poised to open one...yet (hopefully maybe) but just curious about what it took.

First you are going to need at least 50grand. Next step talk to a lawyer. They charge anywhere between 5000 to 10000 to get your paperwork and everything done. Once you are approved as a non profit by the Attorney General you are technically in business. Then you have to find a spot that will rent to you. You will need a sellers permit from the board of tax equalization in order to operate. This basically is your sales tax. After this point its basically get product, open shop. Some cities and counties are requiring a special permit as well. You may have to get one of these. Check your local laws about that one.

don't bother trying it's not going to happen.

Just grow for a few patients on the side, have a copy of their RX on your door and leave it at that.

WHY open a collective..?

when you can...

Calif. cities move to license industrial marijuana growing operations

some municipalities in Northern California are already moving aggressively toward creating government-sanctioned marijuana farms to help supply them. Cities hope to rake in even more tax revenue from medical marijuana cultivation, which has remained in the shadows although it has been legal in the state since 1996.
On Monday, Oakland will begin the application process for four permits to run industrial-scale marijuana farms within city limits.
In Berkeley, a successful ballot measure to allow medical pot cultivation in industrial zones has would-be growers scrambling to score scarce real estate.
Farther north, the Sonoma County wine country town of Sebastopol passed an ordinance Tuesday allowing for the creation of two large gardens for medical marijuana dispensaries, and two more "collective" gardens where patients could grow their own.
In Eureka, the Humboldt County seat, a committee is taking applications for four medical marijuana cultivation and processing permits to serve as-yet-unopened dispensaries in the city.

new spots are still popping up in socal daily, if you truly have the money to invest and the balls to deal with the potential risk, go for it.
