How to start a growers collective

Bearsy · 02-12-2010, 01:20 PM

I'd like to start a compassionate care collective in my city but I don't know how to go about starting one.

Especially cause it seems to be an inherently shady idea.

The only people I know who grow do so for profit, so I can't ask them to stop and start giving their product to people who, you know, need it.

And I can't just start a MeetUp group or something.

Find a spot...

Get the okay from the patrons around your spot, a cop (in his jurisdiction), make sure all of that is in writing...

Get a business license...

Deal with people(clients, growers, help) with their cards only...

There is more to it but that is a basic outline...

If you are talking about starting a club, if it is just a meet and greet to share wisdom, see if something like a weekly meeting between people could be set up at your local compassion center..

We don't have a compassion center, afaik. That's what I want to sort of get going.
