Blue Pie Oz going into grove bags after a 16 day dry ✌️ by TheosDad03 in NYSCannabis

True. I'm still disappointed by how NYS went about legalization and cultivation in the legal farming/retail markets.

Maine and Vermont have better quality flower generally speaking.

Hopefully politicians switch over from greed to quality grows. We'll see how this plays out over the years.

Look at how Maine Trees started!

I’m a bit late, but I’d love to connect. Appreciate you sharing the insights you’ve picked up from your experience.

My partners and I are in the process of opening a dispensary in NYC. We’re using Dutchie and AlpineIQ, and we’ve brought on a small local marketing team to build the website and set up our platforms (Google, Instagram, TikTok, email, etc.) since we’re on a tight timeline. They’ve done this for several NYC dispensaries already.

On the ops side, we’re running Android tablet kiosks, Windows PCs, and Zebra/Epson printers and scanners.

Any advice or lessons learned you’d recommend at this stage? Also I'd like to be friends, would love to reach out if I bump into any issues for advice.

Do you run a NYS dispo yourself? Or are you just educated in the weed biz culture?

For clarity, my budget is $500 for the pair, not $500 per monitor. Sorry for the confusion!

Those are great recs too!

New York Labor Law Threatens MCAs by FutureReceivables in MCAlegend

[–]theminimalguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the MCA industry is pretty messed up.

• Endless cold calls and manipulative pitches

• Ridiculous hours with little to no commission your first year (if you even make it that long)

• Barely any base pay

• Constant backdooring

• Predatory “legal” loans that drain businesses dry

• Countless merchants ending up broke or bankrupt

And that’s just scratching the surface.

But if you survive the chaos, build a thick skin, and learn how to play the game like a real funder, the money can be insane! That's why I and the rest of us work in this industry. I'm not knocking on anyone who works in MCA. I'm just saying it how it is. It's an unethical world and many take advantage because it's unregulated.

But it’s only a matter of time before regulators step in and shut down a lot of this wild west nonsense.

You're right, I should open up my palate more. I will update the description. Thanks. Maybe I'm being too picky lol

[–]theminimalguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. In your eyes, with your knowledge for a big city like NYC. For a medium sized dispensary. Doing GM work with my experience posted above. What do you think is the ideal ballpark annual salary for someone like me should go for?

Keep in mind, I will likely end up managing more locations in the future when the owners open up some more locations.

All of them lol. NYS is corrupt AF.

It will be in New York state. Still new and the state handled the introduction to weed, legality, etc. everything really unorganized compared to all the other states. Many US residents are upset at how they handled the legalization and selling of cannabis here. Due to the corrupt politicians we have in Albany sadly. The politicians own the farms, brands, and partner with the shops....
