Invest in the Booming Medical Marijuana Market

Since 1996, 14 states have legalized marijuana for medical use.

The Medical Marijuana Investment Club offers a unique opportunity for the savvy investor who desires a private, discrete, anonymous and exceptionally profitable investment format.

How the business works:
Medicinal marijuana is sold in state approved and regulated medical marijuana dispensaries or pharmacies. In order to enter one of these pharmacies, a patient must have an evaluation by a licensed physician and he must issue a prescription or formally state the patient would benefit from the use of medical marijuana. The patient must complete an application and receive a medical marijuana identification card. This card must be shown to enter a pharmacy and is also useful to show law enforcement in case they have a question. These pharmacies must adhere to all the normal business licensing and permit regulations that any other business follows. Medical marijuana pharmacies are subject to building and health codes and of course they must pay their taxes like any other business.

To open a dispensary:
The investment may be as little as $50,000 for a bare bones operation, while others have opened very fancy pharmacies/dispensaries in the one million dollar range that offer a cornucopia of medical marijuana products and experiences. As you might expect, many medical marijuana entrepreneurs need to borrow money in order to get a business up and running.
This is where we come in.

How much can you make investing in a legal Medical Marijuana Dispensary?
Provided below is a link to a worksheet and you can answer that for yourself, but on the low end of sales, a $50,000 investment could return $1,000,000 to a well run business in one year. This is after all overhead and about $800,000 in taxes is paid. Some owners are reportedly making close to 10 million dollars a year.
We pursue opportunities that can reliably return at least 10% per month.

Other investment opportunities:

1. Medical Marijuana Nursery. This area of the business is exciting as it places the business at the forefront of new product strains and new techniques, which allows the business to respond quickly to changing market demands, rather than relying on sometimes unpredictable independant growers and fluctuating product quality.
This helps the business stabilize traditionally unstable production and allows it to capture market and profit earlier than competitors.
There are dozens of strains of marijuana available and each one has a unique medical application or client preference.
A full product spectrum nursery operation provides dispensaries with the convenience of one-stop shopping as well as being able to offer clients a reliable source of the most rare strains of medical marijuana.
This approach makes the operations we invest in, the dominant players in the market.

2. Lotions, potions, edibles and clothing. There is an ever increasing variety of products that are sold in dispensaries. Food; like brownies, bread, candy, juices and soda's, a variety of lotions, salves and oils, and alternative delivery systems, like vaporizers that are safer for the body and avoid the smoke that can cause concern for some users. Finally, who doesn't know about Hemp clothing? This is typically a higher quality product which is valued by an upper end clientel and returns a premium profit.

3. Delivery, Storage and Security. Product delivery between the legal nursery, the legal dispensary and the legal patient must be accomplished in a manner that provides for product freshness and provides both the dispensary, delivery person and patient with a safe transaction enviroment. Additionally, a secure, climate controlled central storage and distribution center is necessary to retain product freshness as well as allowing same day delivery to dispensaries, instead of placing the health of a patient at risk by waiting for a delivery from the grower, who may be days away.

The law: We only invest in legal nurseries, legal distribution services and legal dispensaries which are united by a common legal medical marijuana patient roster. This assures us that the marijuana grown, is legally tied to the legal medical marijuana patients and members of a specific legal dispensary. This distinction is necessary to remain within the letter and spirit of the law.
