Authored Articles “Why There Probably Won’t be a Pot Shop

Coming to a Street Corner Near You”- Politix.topix.com

• “All the coverage and commentary revolves around two main topics: the medical efficacy of cannabis and the potential problems that will follow as new areas open up access. Why is no one talking about the actual business of marijuana? Getting through and receiving a license to be in the medical marijuana business is not even the hardest part - and believe me that part is pretty hard.”

•“The bottom line is that it isn't local zoning keeping dispensaries out of your city. It's the extreme difficulty involved with opening a marijuana business. As a country we are evolving our views on medical marijuana and the momentum is clear and heavy. But as long as there aren't any banks that will loan money and there are complete newbies expected to start and operate a business in which they have no background, there probably won't be a pot shop coming to a street corner near you.”

Adam Bierman

• “Under the Controlled Substances Act, any bank that takes money from an illegal enterprise can lose its FDIC coverage and be prosecuted; this means that no bank is giving out loans to would-be pot entrepreneurs.”

“A Truly Green Opportunity” - Huffington Post

• “It is indeed an exciting time for this fresh, booming industry. Why is it that just because we are dealing with pot everyone all of a sudden throws standard business practices out the window and is convinced they will figure it out as they go? All you need to do is take a look at Arizona and realize that strategy has a less-than-desirable outcome. The best advice to those enthusiastic about participating in the emerging industry is to connect with an expert. A real expert isn't some kid in his apartment growing pot or an old hippie that calls himself a "Master Grower." In California (legal since 1996) and Colorado (legal since 2000), it is a more mature industry so, people actually do exist, just fewer and farther between.”

• “The entire country is abuzz with the Marijuana Green Rush, and the topics and conversations revolve around the impossibly hypocritical legalese, the allure of getting into the drug game, and the medical efficacy of marijuana. However, nowhere do I hear or read about the most consistent, unavoidable dilemma facing the industry: The fact that there is no practical way to license law-abiding, successful citizens and expect that those individuals are in any way prepared to responsibly manage a marijuana operation.”

“The Green Rush is Coming…Just Not Here Yet”- Politix.topix.com

• “The growth of the legitimate Marijuana Industry and insane interest it has generated has been dubbed by some the "Green Rush," no doubt an homage to the Gold Rush of the 19th century. Wide-eyed entrepreneurs are flocking to lawyers, lobbyists, and consultants to shell out big bucks for a chance at striking gold. And just like the prospectors of the Gold Rush, most of these would-be marijuana moguls will never hit it big.”

• “In every medical market (at this time there are two recreational markets in Washington and Colorado) outside of California, strict regulations are in place to limit access to pot. Potential marijuana patients are not able to walk into recommendation farms like the ones peppering the boardwalk in Venice Beach, Calif., to get the necessary doctor signature that gains them access to a dispensary. It varies state by state but the status quo is that a bona fide physician-patient relationship must go beyond a simple recommendation for medical cannabis or a consultation for that purpose. That means your actual doctor has to write you a marijuana recommendation - and most doctors want nothing to do with it.”

- Adam Bierman

“A Business Model for Medical Marijuana”- SmartBusiness.com

• “What a unique situation this industry finds itself in. What other industry has a demonstrated demand in the billions of dollars yet because that demand has been black market until now, the barriers of entry are low and competitive landscape is weak? What has happened over the last 20 years in the business of technology is astounding but they have had such a harder task, they had to CREATE demand to sell their products. As has been demonstrated with each new state that legitimizes the marijuana business there is no creation of demand necessary..”

• “This industry has gone from underground operators using new confusing laws as a cover to run their businesses, to more complete laws and programs that attracted opportunistic entrepreneurs with unlimited risk tolerance to where we are today. The threat of federal intervention has subsided with Department of Justice memos clearly stating that operators doing so lawfully would not be threatened. States have learned from one another and programs now are only licensing the most upstanding, successful local businesspeople..”
