I am currently in the healthcare industry, and I am considering the possibility of expanding my expertise to include medical marijuana. I am in the very beginning stages of planning for this, however I am extremely serious about providing a high quality service at a fair price.
Before I go further, allow me to explain a few things regarding my personal views on profit in healthcare. I currently run a for profit health care practice. I do believe that quality healthcare is a basic human right, and it a karmic responsibility to ease another persons suffering when possible. Because my practice is for profit, I offer premium healthcare services that your local community based system is unable to maintain. I also provide services at a sliding fee for those unable to meet cost. Because I budget for these reduced fees, I have found this actually increases my bottom line. Overall, I take a client first mentality, and I never forget that their problems do not go away when they leave my office. I am very familiar with the business of healthcare, and I would like to apply that experience to the medical application of marijuana.
A good friend of mine has his Ph.D. in chemistry, and is very interested in becoming a business partner. As we are both scientifically trained, we are excited to run some BADLY needed research to further the field. I will flatly admit that I am interested in running a people first practice that provides a nice return on my initial investment. Furthermore, we are interested in setting up shop in Colorado simply because it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Is it even possible to run a for profit dispensary in Colorado, or must they all be listed as not for profit? I am not very concerned with the federally illegal issue, just as long as I dont have to worry about spending 40 years in jail. I am only interested in following state law to the letter. Any other general accounts of the business would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Reguardless, we will not be ready to do this for another 2 years, and alot of legal stuff can happen in that time frame.
Crack is much safer.. it's schedule 2.
