How To Become A Medical Marijuana Vendor For Dispensaries?

I live in California and have a medical card. I'm getting into growing and I was wondering if someone with some knowledge could give me some basic info. Could you just go into a club with a sample and ask them if they want to buy from you? How much are clubs looking for, for example are they looking for just a few pounds every crop or much more than that, like in the 20-30 range? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Don't post if you don't know what your talking about please. And be honest, if it's a shady, cutthroat business like I think it might be, than tell me. Thanks.

In my experience, it is possible to become a vendor but there are a number of considerations:
Starting with 20-30 is way out of the question. First of all that is considered illegal and inappropriate by the clubs which function as collectives of patients. The vernacular the you have to become familiar with is "collective" and that offerings are "donations". I would start with very small samples and try to develop a rapport with staff. When you first begin you are going to encounter attitude and prejudice. You will be shunted into a room and asked to wait a long time for an appointment. This can go on for a ridiculous amount of time. Be ready for that. You will generally have the opportunity to make your case, but don't expect any kind of reasonable acceptance or courtesy at first.

Once you have gotten some tentative acceptance, you will be asked to front for up to a week or more. And there are definitely some shady outfits out there that set up just to take your product and never call you back.

If by chance you develop rapport, your product is appreciated and things initially work smoothly, you may be able to have a somewhat regular flow of your product into the club. You will be asked to identify yourself for tax purposes and a record will be kept of your sales. Be prepared.

The underground market is in many cases much more stress free. Good luck

bring in samples if there interested they will let you know pretty simple.

Go into all of the clubs in your area and ask them if they accept vendors. If you're legal then the worst they can say to you is "no". I think most of them make their own rules up about how much/how often/what they will pay.

i just walk in during the non-busy days and bring product. They are interested in buying in smaller amounts they usually buy as pound at a time. Identify urself as a vendor and they will take u to a vending room. it is not cut throat or shady and usually it is a pleasant experience. They purchase small quantities because usually by county law they are only permitted to possess smaller quantities. For example I think in alameda county they are only allowed to posses 2 pounds of product at the dispensery and not much more in a sperate location. I know of some clubs in the area getting caught with 30-50 elbows and these owners are now in criminal court facing felonious charges usually brought by them being shady people as it is and not payimng taxes because many dispensery owners and staff in my experience are hardly anything more than glorified drug dealers with tattoos on their arms saying things like hustler 4 life and shit...be wise in choosing the dispensery u go to some are operated shady making me feel uncomfortable just buying meds let alone vending to them.

its getting competitive nowadays so i think alot of the shady places will disappear i dont waste my time with any place or people i dont like the look of.

How do you become "legal", like you said? I'm looking to get into vending as well.

you need to get a legit medical recommendation from a doctor for an ailment that is helped by cannabis use.

Well, it makes it legal to go into dispensaries and buy marijuana, and to grow a certain number of plants depending on your location, but yeah if your moving to the bay area then you are straighttttt! lol

Hello:

I know of a few people that have delivery services, and certainly buy your product on a whole sale basis. I live in California. Email me at: [email protected]

I'm just wondering, how are things in CA after the DEA raided a bunch of the dispensaries?

Sketchy???

good question thread btw me and a team of friends are co-op vendors and it dpends who u know and location and quality. cali can have up to 8oz on u so u dont wanna carry over that or baggies or scales. ull get hit for intent to distribute just be smart about shit.
were lookin into starrtin our own clinic too cuz biz trans are kinda sketchy and u gotta b there when they need the shit an dnot busy but if u dont have a day job its chill. best of luck. best way to learn is do it first hand

I say go to a delivery service type company... The people who do the deliveries most likely have a part in the companies buying and distribution of the meds. They will buy anything from an Ounce to 90# . It can be done on the d.l. I know one certain collective that is very generous and knows how to return "favor$"...if you catch my drift...
It's just like hollywood. It's about who you know... Not what you know. So go make some friends in HIGH places and aim High---->First you gotta grow some killer ganj like me though...

If you live in SD maybe you've heard of my strain "Purple Mr. Nice"

ya i got Mr nice clones from one of the co-ops i deal with here in long beach. i believe it mightve been the black widow purple tho. turned out pretty good

Im looking to start a collective grow...but I dont know anyone thats like ...serious enough...
with a little modification to my property, more security and fencing...I could have a massive legal outdoor grow.

I'm in CA and have vended a few times. I usually go to a club, ask them If they are meeting with vendors. Some turn you down and some want to see what you have, than you collect your donation simple as that.
