Get legal! This is just common sense plain and simple. If you’re going to be in this field, your going to be around it so get yourself covered.

Visit a doctor, it’s easy. If you can, call around first to find one that will write you a script that will cover you for possessing more then the generally accepted legal limit if it’s possible.

For example, if you live in California, you’re allowed to possess up to 6 mature and 12 immature plants in general but if a doctor recommends more then you’re allowed to possess more but never have more then 99 plants or 5 pounds because it brings federal charges.

Incorporate. There’s a specific order of steps you need to follow. You need to create a collective as a non-profit corporation first, before you can get your licenses and permits.

It’s recommended you form a collective and not a cooperative.

Sign a lease. You need to do this one last step before you can file for any licenses and permits. Why? The sellers permit and business license requires an address for your location; it’s no good anywhere else.

Ok, your finally ready to file for licenses and permits. Don’t skip this step, medical marijuana transactions are taxable by law.

Open up for business! Don’t skimp out on security, it’s imprtant. Follow the law and keep a low profile, no matter what you do it’s still a risk in this business. Good luck!
