Here in Denver and surrounding cities, we have a multitude of marijuana dispensaries. To date --- there are almost 2 to 1 dispensaries to STARBUCKS! The last record showed 390 medical marijuana dispensaries and 208 Starbucks shops!
There is a business license required for this business. The application fee is $2,000 and an annual fee of $3,000 to maintain this license. Fingerprints are required and inspections of the building. If you do not own the building, a lease must be submitted with the license application.
There are many police calls to areas around dispensaries. As you can imagine, if a business owner is able to pay for these fees, there MUST be some money in this business, and always attracts the attention of burglars! With this, a few cities around Denver have decide to vote to ban these dispensaries. The Broomfield City Council has become the latest City to consider this vote. This vote will possibly ban selling or growing medical marijuana as well as ones that make tinctures, baked goods or other "marijuana-infused products."
Superior and Vail last month were among the first cities to permanently ban marijuana dispensaries and outlaw such businesses.
I just did a search and found the closest dispensary to my house is at least 20 minutes away!
How does YOUR State feel about this type of business? Are these approved across the Country?
