Bookings are closed for this event.

Don’t wait for the laws to change in your state. Get prepared now!

Get ahead of the curve. Find out NOW what you will need to qualify to be a medical marijuana business in your area. Find a location for your business that’s zoned correctly BEFORE anyone else does, get the best attorney in town FIRST, assemble the most qualified team of growers and make them offers BEFORE anyone else does.

Don’t get bogged down and intimidated by the current rules in your state. The opportunities in this industry are incredible but you need to be WAY more savvy then the next person. A 600 BILLION DOLLAR industry is barreling down the tracks to your hometown sooner than you think and you need to BE PREPARED.

Even if you weren’t thinking of setting up shop in your state, wouldn’t you like to know about the many options open to you IN OTHER STATES? And even if you “don’t think your state is ready for that sort of thing” wouldn’t you still like to know HOW THEY DO IT in other states so maybe, just maybe you could eventually change the status quo in yours?

Don’t get sidetracked in minutiae. Every state will have a medical marijuana program eventually–on that you can bet. The question is HOW PREPARED WILL YOU BE?

Do you know what it takes to create a marijuana business IN ANY STATE regardless of the current or future rules?

Do you understand the corporate structures that need to be in place in order for you to get paid in this industry? How to legally draw a salary even though you may be operating as a NON-PROFIT or NOT-FOR-PROFIT entity?

Do you know how to create an ACTION PLAN™ that will be the blueprint for your cannabis business?

Do you know how to assemble an ACTION TEAM™ qualified enough to get your business plan approved? We will have EXPERTS THERE from every field! (Attorney, Grow, Edibles, Dispensary Management, Accountant, etc.)

If the answer is NO you need to be at the next Cannabis Career Institute seminar.
