Welcome to r/Weedbiz

Hi, in Massachusettes they track our driver's licenses for every dispensary and we can only legally buy 1 ounce or 5 grams of concentrate per day and that's across the whole state and so your license is always counting during that day what you're buying and how much you can left. Does Michigan have the same thing or can you just go in there and do some shopping?

So I got an interview at this distribution center here in California for the central valleys dispensary but it’s a hour and 10 minutes drive from me for $16 a hour. Is the weed business worth working in I am so interested in weed and everything about it but is it a good profession to go with. Cuz I start on Monday at a welding shop (most of my work experience is in trades) closer for $20 a hour but really ain’t passionate about welding or even like it just really do it for the money. Is it worth taking the $16 a hour plus the drive for following my passion of cannabis?

My dad and I have opened a grow equipment shop in central Germany beginning of 2024 and we are trying to connect with other players on the DE/EU market. We sell equipment, fertiliser, CBD and Seeds but so far only in store. Looking to expand online. Anyone had any good experience with POS Solutions? They are giving us big time headaches.

Feel free to contact me in English or German. :)

guys, I have this super idea (found the market fit already) to develop a strain that makes you speak like BIDEN. And name the strain "BIDEN HAZE" (we all love Biden, no hate here)

Who ever has the resources, go out there and make it real and invite me to the release party or launch.

I am a long time cannabis operation consultant and recently was awarded my own cannabis license. Looking to pay it forward. A lot of interesting things are to happen over the next 12 months. I had an idea for a unique AMA series but wanted to gauge interest in it before going through the effort of getting verified and whatnot.

The idea is to have 3 or 4 separate AMAs at key points throughout the process to help others learn about the intricacies of starting a legal cannabis business. The AMA will be focused on specific phases and questions For example:

1. Licensing and business setup
2. Build out
3. Launch / Go live
4. Post launch

I thought it might be useful to answer questions while I am deep in the thick of each of these phases so the knowledge is fresh.

Anyway if I get 30 upvotes or comments I’ll go ahead and do it! If not, carry on.

I have 10ish lbs of some decent outdoor, that unfortunately hermed. Looking for ideas how to best use without having to remove countless seeds.. edibles, shatter (do seeds need removed?), bubble hash… any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi! What is the best way to take wholesale payments at an expo/convention when using a high-risk merchant processor?

I have a substantial amount of money for my pre-roll brand and I'm looking for a manufacturer to collab with on a white label deal. I am budgeting and setting aside a specific amount for this. I am in NY. Does anyone have experience with the costs associated with white labeling? I want to purchase the cannabis, pack the pre-rolls, and distribute them. I'm looking for a one stop shop. My pre-rolls are .4 dog walkers in a 5 pack. I'm looking to process 10,000 pre-rolls to start. Even if the costs are from another state It would be nice to know so I can start projecting. Thanks! If you are a cultivator and processor in NY hit me up :)

Looking for cannabis specific professional groups in Minnesota. I’m currently in the Michigan market and interested in possibly consulting, or even relocating to MN. Here in Michigan we have a robust Facebook group that’s been a huge help to many, hoping there may be something similar.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I'm still going deeper in my research for a family owned-and-operated cultivation facility. Was wondering, among the experienced marketers and cannabis business owners/employees in the sub, who's seen great decks and marketing rollouts?

Any specific marketing examples that stuck with you to this day?

Any decks you remember or have access to that impressed you?

In California. How difficult is it to acquire? How strict is it? How often do they come to inspect your facility? How much work is it to get one’s building up to code? Any information would be appreciated 🙏🏻

Vouches and all I got u

Pretty bummed. Found out through email as I was on my way to work.

Been with the same company for a little over 5 years. Joined when they were relatively small, getting paid under the table and stuck around to see them expand and legitimize. Was apart of the logistics team and mainly worked as a delivery driver. Between hours, tips, and mileage, I was making pretty decent money, enough to get by comfortably and start a small family.

I worked all over SoCal. IE, OC, LA, SD. The area we covered was huge and I thoroughly enjoyed what I did and the customers I’ve met, places I’ve been. I showed up, worked hard, and for the most part, treated the business as if it was my own. Though I’m well aware it wasn’t. At one point I just had that much respect and was thrilled to be apart of a team that I thought had a lot of potential. I seen countless people come and go and overtime became one of the few original drivers.

Towards the end of this year it was apparent that the company wasn’t doing as well as it had and was showing signs of failing. We had layoffs, reduced hours, and the last few months I was working, alarmingly low inventory on a day to day basis which caused sales to suffer even more. I seen the writing on the wall, I was just hoping I’d make it through the holidays.

Wish I could continue to be apart of the industry but I’m not sure where my road will take me now. For those still in it, I wish you the best and good luck

We are creating a CBD beverage in Illinois, but are having difficulty finding a shared or commissary kitchen to work out of. We were told a cottage production was not an option for CBD—is this true? I get a lot of no's as soon as I mention CBD. Of course we want to do this the right way. Do dispensaries that produce edibles sometimes rent out their facility for production? We would need storage as well. Any advice?

First, I wanna thank the active and informative members of this sub, I've learned a lot today and will be coming back every day.

I'm 19 and my family managed to become a local cannabis cultivation facility in Vegas, and I've been researching trying to understand why we're not doing great and how to become better.
People here are so kind + informative but, there's this consistently negative, dreading emotion underlying everyone's posts.

Is the cannabis industry doomed right now? Why is everything so difficult for family-owned and operated sales? What do you guys think is the biggest contributor, and is there a better future coming soon?

I’m moving to Colorado and want to get into the weed industry and work up management as fast as possible. How much does a dispensary manager make in Pueblo CO area of surrounding area?

seen lots of negatives but idc I was doing medical career and hated it but I have a love for cannabis and business. Also I am not afraid of long hours or the typical stuff most people have issues with.

Any cultivators use GrowFlow for traceability or their marketplace? Do you like them, any tech issues like on 4/20, how’s customer service?

I'm thinkin Oregon could be an option. See I was already planning on trying it but I ask mainly because my buddy in California says you can get topshelf for 3 bucks a gram. I wouldn't be able to compete with that.

Wondering how many experienced owners are on here and what’s the extent of your experience?

Just curious if a ton of unpaid invoices is common in this industry. If you're a dispensary owner please enlighten me as to the best way to get paid as a vendor. I'm in CA.

And since I've got you on the line, what is the best way to get paid on an open overdue invoice? What do the store owners prefer?

I was wondering if anyone knows someone who grows in NJ or currently grows in NJ my current plan is as follows but I haven't done much research so feel free to correct anything that looks wrong.

Legal Way:

1. File as a microbusiness in NJ and complete the weed growing application process (I dont know what that entails)
2. Grow from my basement with a setup for around 25 plants to get going and see how it goes
3. eventually move into a rental and have an agreement with the person there making sure they know what my intentions are
4. Sell to dispensaries

OR if that fails or wont work for some reason

Not super legal way:

1. Start growing from a rental, some shitty place that no one cares about eventually with enough money expand to a point that I make decent money but its not suspicious in the eyes of the law. This will cost alot more than the legal way because I can't grow from home.
2. Sell to local plugs under the table.

I have a licensed cultivation site I am looking to sell (or lease). I've had a tough go finding anyone who might be able to fill out the site. Any ideas on how I can get someone who might be interested?

Hi weed friends!

I work for a nonprofit that advocates for civil rights, including legalization of cannabis. For our issue advocacy, we often send bulk texts about how to contact legislators.

As I’m sure you all are very familiar with, any weed related texts get filtered. It’s super annoying and really puts a damper on reaching young folks about this issue area.

My question for all you experts is this: have you found creative words for cannabis that are still clear to the audience but don’t get filtered? Do images get filtered for the same issues as text copy? What’s your advice to get around this issue so we can let the people know how to speak up to support legalization?

Edit to add: we use scale to win as our bulk texting platform
