You want an expert whenever possible! I have l earned this the taxing way. I used to suppose doing everything myself was the way to go. I would do my own plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, and A/C and electrical work. I realized that I ended up spending more money and wasting time messing things up. I didn’t know what I was doing, then hiring a professional would have been better and really busy myself and others out less, when it came time to start my own medical marijuana dispensary, I knew I needed to hire a professional. What do I know about starting a business? What do I know about the legal side of weed? I also needed to get special licensing and a company permit, however the cannabis consulting firm I was looking at even had medical marijuana company application repair and medical marijuana company permit repair listed as something they could help myself and others with. Hiring them was such a smart idea. The largest thing I took away is that I saved so much time. The cannabis consultant had done this before, numerous times. He knew what to do, what to file and what roadblocks there were up ahead. The guy had a whole plan and a calendar of important due dates laid out, everything abruptly seemed to clear and doable once he was on board. I know I have stumbled around in the dark for weeks trying to figure out how to begin the process. There are numerous reasons to hire a medical marijuana consultant, a big one is for the time savings.
