The large players are already there...and the small guys can still just grow a few plants in their house and make good side money.
Once its legalized prices will drop like crazy.
Marijuana is really easy to grow and anyone can get into it...plus, with you not smoking or knowing a lot of smokers you would probably have to learn a lot.

While scrolling down and reading the thread this immediately came to mind when everyone is digging for gold sell shovels !Look at the 'picks and shovels' analogy from the gold rush
How about selling a product to help people QUIT smoking marijuana?
Considering it's not physically addictive you might have a hard time selling anything other than self-help books in the same vein as eating disorders, internet/sex addiction and procrastination. Maybe even 'lifestyle retreats' are an option so people can get away to clear their heads and get their priorities straight.
Not to say there's no money in those spaces but it's hardly an early retirement ticket.
Man...all ill say about this is that im not speaking out of my a$$.Every one thinks it is easy to grow yes it is for the crap product that anyone can grow. Really good product takes a lot of work and brings in top $$$$$. As far as the Feds if you keep it under 100 plants in Michigan they pretty much leave you alone. Problem is EVERYONE forgets it might be " Legal " in you're state but it is still a CRIME for the FEDS and Uncle SAM. I spent a lotttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of money researching and spending hours with the lawyers. Yes it is a great side income but the Risks are HUGE.
I love the warehouse space idea! That is smart!

One in every city.... Costly to set up though.
Maybe Ice cream Vans ... but for Marry J wonna. And start a franchise....
There is still a lot of room for growth in this industry and lots of time to get in it but there's a lot you will have to learn about the industry first. A lot of people think growing is easy but it's not. Anyone can get a plant growing but keeping it alive and healthy until harvest time can be difficult for beginners and many quit when problems occur and they can't resolve it. There are many variables when growing plants. . Especially fruiting plants. Temperature, bugs, pH, ppm, dificiencies, ventilation, humidity, etc are all types of variables that need to be monitored. You want high yield and to get that out of a plant takes a lot of experience. I own a hydroponic store and get a lot of customers that are always fighting problems. Some are so fustrated they sound like they are on the verge of quitting.
So you're saying there's a need which is, people need to be educated. In Michigan when it was legalized for medical, there was someone who was on top of this need and was making around 70k a month teaching. This is documented but I don't have time to search for the article. Here's another article though about the different developing businesses and some problems: Medical marijuana spawns fresh industries | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
I personally find it interesting the growing amounts of people stepping up and claiming that high concentrated amounts of a certain type of oil derived from pot literally CURED their cancer. The documentation on this is growing too. There's even some radio shows sprouting around this.
Do you think it would be possible for someone without knowledge to open a corporation, find a location and interview and hire a couple educators to run an education based business? And, of course, make a decent living off of only one school? Maybe even open up several schools in a variety of cities and states where it is legal? Build a brand in this newly legal wild west sorta industry ? I think it's very possible

Let's not forget the multiple carcinogens that are created when you smoke it.
Drugs are drugs regardless if they are legal or not.
Sounds like a good opportunity until Marijuana becomes the new super villain taking tobacco's place as the poster child for cancer and other illnesses. And it's not a matter of if but when.

I personally don't like fad business opportunities that will have so many obvious problems in the not so distant future. Plus one of our most important pillars of success here on the forum is "add value first" and they will come.
How are you solving a problem or adding value by becoming the legal weed man on the block? And trust me this ain't a moral or judgement call because this boy has done some dirt himself in the past.
Drugs are drugs regardless if they are legal or not. My mission is that anything I sell or endorse contribute to the betterment of the consumer of my product or service. That's just me but I don't knock those that feel differently.
I learned that valuable lesson right here. And shortly after I stopped chasing money or making my every business decision based solely on profitability I started building better business relationships and making a hell of a lot more money.
