Want to Sell Medical Marijuana in Denver? Be Prepared for a Background Check
Denver is one of the latest areas to make medical marijuana legal. Of course, not every former – or current – drug dealer is allowed to get a share of this recent market. If you live in the Denver area and are considering being a dispensary owner, or even having ten percent of a share in a medical marijuana business, you’ll need to pass a background check and pay a hefty fee before you receive a license to distribute the drug for medical purposes. While this law obviously looks like a way to discourage current and past drug dealers from cashing in on medical marijuana, what about for those without a criminal past?
According to the article linked above, anyone applying to a license to be a medical marijuana dispensary owner must submit to a background check and fingerprinting and pay a $2,000 fee. Once the license for distributing medical marijuana has been approved, a $3,000 annual fee is also required. The implication in the linked article above is that the city of Denver will be doing more thorough background checks on all applying for such licenses. This includes, with fingerprints, checking national criminal databases for crimes committed outside of Colorado.
Of course, people owning such a business aren’t the only ones who need to go through this procedure. As mentioned in the article, anyone who has a 10-percent share in such a company needs to go through it, as well. Colorado isn’t the only state to make medical marijuana legal, however. California and, last month, New Jersey have such laws in place and those dispensing the marijuana in all places need to pass a background check first. In the case of New Jersey, anyone who dispenses or picks up a prescription for marijuana must pass a background check.
Medical marijuana is certainly a really great medicine for a lot of folks, it does not matter what a few people say. I know friends & family that have been aided with medical marijuana.
I’ll save this as inspiration and refer visitors from my site. I have put up some ideas too, so I will add a link to this article (if OK) on my site?
Sure, linking to it would be fine.
Linking to it would be better than taking part of it.
now see, this type of stuff simply doesn’t sound right
I wish more people would write blogs like this that are actually interesting to read. With all the fluff floating around on the internet, it is rare to read a blog like yours instead.
hi it is my first comment on this blog and at first I would like to thank for the unique information, which I found in this and all previous topics , it really helped me very much. I will definitely iclude this blog on my rss reader
Also, I would like to ask - don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your website since I am writing articles for the Associated Content, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your blog name or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct link to your blog).
