As many of you may know November 21, 2007 all of the signatures needed were turned in to the state of Michigan to present MMJ on the next ballot this November(2008) and I was curious as to how I could contact dispensary so I could compile some market and financial information so I could start working on a business plan to start one here in Michigan should the bill pass (crossing my fingers). If you post contact information please tell me what state it is in, with that said I would really like to contact Dispensary's in as many states as possible to figure out demographics. 1000 California dispensary's would be great but the economics are vastly different as are the people that business will be done with.

Thanks for your help

Ive never even been to a dispensary before... but I dont think youll have to worry much about demographics.

you should probably talk to a lawyer and make sure dispensaries wont violate other state laws or local ordinances.

I don't think that dispenseries will be allowed under the proposed system for Michigan.

The proposal was crafted with the intent of avoiding some of the perceived problems of CA.

In addition people trying to orginize dispenseries would degrade the probabilities of the law being passed by the voters.

Please consider deleting your post.

Thanks

I'm a Michigan resident waiting and waiting.
I also personally gathered hundreds of petition signatures.

I have read the proposal thoroughly and it did not mention anything about dispensaries at all. I am waiting for a response, I e-mailed the site that has an entire readout of the proposal, Michigan NORMAL referred me to this site and said they could answer the questions that I had. IF dispensaries are allowed then I assure you that I will be contacting a layer.

This proposed was very carefully drafted. There is only so much that the voters in Michigan will go for.

Hints that the preceived problems in CA are about to migrate to MI will drive voters against mmj in MI.

The concept of dispensaries was intentionally left out of this proposed law just for that reason.

Without dispensaries surveys indicate that the law will pass on about a 60/40 basis.

People publicaly stating they intend to open them will scare voters and could cause this proposal to fail.

Again .. please consider deleting this thread.

Does your desire to make money override your desire to help the sick people of MI?

Isn't that the motivation behind most of those dispensaries ? I've never been to one in California, but the prices don't exactly seem cheap.

I'm not trying to get rich off people by any means. But as a business student I see a new and untapped market if dispensaries were allowed but I have received information that they are not going to be in Michigan, people are just growing their own meds. It was a very rare opportunity to start a business in a NEW market. Its not going to happen so I'm sticking with Bio-Fuels

Thank you for confirming that. Such misinformation could cost the election.

And believe me I would rather people receive the medicine they deserve legally than make a buck off of it.

As an ex-Detroiter, I wish all you guys the best. I'm hoping it passes. Naw, make that praying it will pass. peanutbutter, here's a cyber pat on the back for a job well done. Way to walk it and talk it, dude.Respect.
