    Hey

    Thanks for the info, I have store in Los Angeles area that I want to convert to dispensary. My buddy got his license a year ago and he said it cost him 8 to 9 million dollars… what you just explained could cost less than 200 k . Doesn’t make any sense to me…

    If your license gets denied, do you have to pay any fees?

    Hi! I live in Ohio and would like to start my own bakery that involves weed but don’t know how or where to start do you have any advise?

    I went to a lecture from the city of Los Angeles in regards to licensing t the convention center. Had all the department reps to answer questions. At the end of it I learned that you can’t get a license. You need to apply during phases and it’s a lottery pool. No such thing as license in Los angeles

  12. 1890 on October 20, 2021 at 10:00 am

    how much is it to fill out the application for california?



  13. Steven Redcay on October 20, 2021 at 10:03 am

    Why do I need a license to get weed ( but don’t need one to get or drink alcohol ) the more evil drug because man made it



  14. Zack Sutherland on October 20, 2021 at 10:05 am

    Question,

    If I get a distribution license as well as a type 9, can I grow and store my cannabis and products in the same wear house? Thank you !



  15. Sarah Thomas on October 20, 2021 at 10:06 am

    I’m a resident in PA (it’s not legalized) but I want to operate in a different state. Would I have to change over my residency to open a dispensary?



  16. Her Sacred Circle Sanctuary on October 20, 2021 at 10:07 am

    Are you ready to come to south dakota? going to need help in 2021!

    Shia LaBeouf thinks he’s slick



  18. health em on October 20, 2021 at 10:08 am

    Hey quick question, I am licensing my non storefront delivery business. When filing for the LLC is it important that I declare the type of business I will be conducting is in cannabis, or is this not necessary to apply for the license? I am located in LA

    Very Respectfully,

    Thank you for your series of informational videos in regards to starting a cannabis business. This is the first I’ve seen and I will be watching the rest. I am in the planning process of opening a dispensary in Los Angeles. I have a background in the cannabis industry as a manager of a medical clinic that offered MMJ evaluations. Recently, I was approved as a Tier 1 applicant in Los Angeles. I have a few questions in mind now but I’m sure I’m sure I’ll have more, the further I get. If you can answer please: with Phase 3 round 1 approaching, I recall reading that Tier 1 and tier 2 applicants can apply without having a location secured. I remember that was a benefit of being a qualified applicant. Now I am reading that a location must be secured and that only 100 licenses will be granted. If this is the case, what is the point of applying for phase 3 if you do not have a location? Is phase 3 strictly for those ready to operate and get a license? Also, Do you know the details of the Department of Cannabis Regulations offerings of: "fee deferrals, technical assistance, and other programs" etc, as mentioned on their website? Thanks for your time.



  20. Jonathan Hochmuth on October 20, 2021 at 10:10 am

    Is there any way to message you to find out more about cost in my area and fees for your service?



  21. Moneyshotz on October 20, 2021 at 10:13 am

    Hey Jim. I live in New Zealand and I would like to open a dispensary as soon as it becomes legal. Do you have any advice as to how I can do this? Cheers.



  22. Brandon Steele on October 20, 2021 at 10:14 am

    Is it possible (as in legally possible) to both own and grow the business on the same property? For smaller business owners.



  23. LTZoe KillZone on October 20, 2021 at 10:15 am

    Question va will be soon legal well the same apply across the board



  24. Michael Zuniga on October 20, 2021 at 10:17 am

    Hi, I live in Illinois and am planning to open up a dispensary in my home town. My question is the transition stage for the recent recreational use bill that is still waiting to be signed by the Governor. Would there eventually be a state office like the BCC mentioned in the video, or any other offices within the state along those lines? Currently I’ve only been aware of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation that only offers a medical licence right now. Just wondering if this transition stage of the game was similar to those of states like Colorado and California. Any other advice would be much appreciated as well! Thanks.



  25. Ethan Fontenot on October 20, 2021 at 10:20 am

    I had a serious question one of my friends said you have to go to college to study cannabis



  26. TruthTeller on October 20, 2021 at 10:23 am

    I understand why there’s so many illegal shops out throughout California. They make it impossible.



  27. Michael Barreras on October 20, 2021 at 10:24 am

    NM governor just signed the bill today for recreational purposes. Needing your services ASAP. Moving forward as of today for licensing. Please reach out how you can help



  28. sharon rizvi on October 20, 2021 at 10:25 am

    Does Canada have the same rules?



  29. Seize IMmUnITy on October 20, 2021 at 10:26 am

    So in a realistic situation would you be able to get a cultivation and disturbution license and just grow your own and sell it in your dispensary to cut the cost?



  30. Mouhamed Ba on October 20, 2021 at 10:30 am

    Thank you 🙏🏾



  31. The Simone Show on October 20, 2021 at 10:35 am
