I'm legitimately thinking of opening up a marijuana dispensary

That's because they limit the licenses to a max number of shops per city because as progressive as this state likes to think it is it cucks itself.

free markets aren't exactly a progressive ideal.

besides, if they don't limit competition the stuff will quickly be selling for roughly the price of spinach, which hurts tax revenues.

pros
>growing industry

cons
>everybody will be growing it
>buying it illegally will continue to be cheaper
>taxes and permits will kill you

When Oregon legalized cannabis in 2014 many cities were flooded with dispensaries in the following months. 75% of them died off because they didn't see enough business.

If you want to build a business off of the recent law changes in California consider opening a gardening store. Fertilizers, tools, fans, HPS bulbs, tents, ballasts, air filters etc will be in high demand. A full set-up for a hobbyist is quite expensive.
