Pot-Laws.com : How to Open a Medical Marijuana Dispensary

Funding

So now you have to figure out how to pay for opening a dispensary. There are some basic costs that can't be avoided, such as rent and security deposit, but that is just the beginning.

A security guard is required, so is a computer system, a security system, display cases, couches, chairs, desks, a copy machine, a phone line, filing cabinets, files, paper, pens, and the list goes on.

Depending on the design and style you are going for, costs can vary.

The best recommendation I can offer is to be certain that you have at least $25,000 as a BARE MINIMUM (often more in the range of $75,000 but this is dependant on location and build-out) to get the basics, and this does not include medication, pipes, water-pipes, papers and other accessories, vaporizers, or any related merchandise or clones you may want to carry.

The acquisition of medication is a topic that is an entirely separate issue that needs to be discussed during an initial consultation.
