You have to get permission to enter. Once you enter, you wait in a waiting room. Only one person is allowed to enter to buy at a time. Everything is behind plexi glass and a secured armored door. Yeah, like a ****ing bank vault door. You have to show papers just to wait in the waiting room. And you're limited in the quantity you can buy. You can't buy enough at a dispensary to sell. And Medical shit is so expensive, you would have to buy a lot and sell it higher then typical street value to turn a profit.
And they don't sell shit with seeds. So it's not like you can go buy it, then plant some in your back yard either.

Maybe you guys are just ahead of us. Here's a linked news article to the one I just posted. I guess a positive is that the criminals may start targeting these places instead of 7-11s.

Denver Medical Marijuana Businesses Lure Criminals Reporting
Medical marijuana dispensaries in the Denver metro area may be legitimate businesses but police say the facilities are luring criminals into the neighborhoods where the dispensaries operate.
A dispensary was recently robbed at 36th and Downing in Denver. The sign on the door of Elevated Medical on Wednesday night said "Closed For A Few Days (Got Robbed) Don't Worry, We'll Be Back Soon."
A few days ago, thieves also broke into a dispensary in Lakewood called Green Tree Medical LLC that's owned by Anthony Branan.
"It feels terrible, kind of, especially after we're just starting to make a little bit of profit, and someone breaks in and takes everything," Branan told CBS4.
Survelliance video of the Green Tree break in shows three or more people wearing scarves over their faces going in and out, and at one point carrying out a safe. They made off with about $10,000 worth of cash and product.
Police say Colorado's booming medical marijuana industry has brought a flurry of new businesses and new crime as well.
"If you think about it, the thieves are looking for two things, the product they have is desireable by a lot of people in criminal activity, there's money there, it's a cash business, so unfortunately its highly attractive to criminals," Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.
Police say they are working with some dispensary owners to let them know where they are most vulnerable and to get them thinking about their own safety and the safety of their customers.
