Affinity Medical Marijuana Collective

There are a lot of practical and business issues to consider before starting a medical marijuana collective or dispensary, as with any for-profit or non-profit business. Moreover, the laws surrounding medicinal marijuana dispensaries are complex and have changed significantly in the last couple of years. MAUCRSA has significantly changed the rules and culture surrounding collectives or co-ops. The previous system of co-ops and collectives essentially expired with the passage of MAUCRSA, although some vestiges remain.

It is important to consult at length with a knowledgeable attorney before beginning your venture in order to map out an appropriate collective or co-op plan, complete with plans to satisfy the applicable laws and regulations. That being said, there are some general guidelines for starting a medical marijuana collective.
