I bought "Marijuana Business" new here at for $18.00 out of curiosity. I live in Colorado, and the Denver Post recently reported that there are now more marijuana shops than there are Star Bucks in the city and county of Denver.The author, Jeff Grissler, in writing this book...is presenting himself to be an expert in successfully opening and running a marijuana dispensary. I had "high" hopes that this man knew his "turf."The buyer is given no indication that this book is focussed on the state of Colorado. The marijuana laws of each state are unique to each state, this book is limited to Colorado's framework. The author should have pointed that fact out clearly. As a potential purchaser of this book, if your interests lie outside Colorado, you will need to look elsewhere.There is a sample business plan. Probably the most critical component to any business venture. The writing in this critical section is mechanical, and not very insightful. Considering the topic, it's very generic. You could almost use this generic information as a simple framework for any number of business ventures. The issue is that a marijuana dispensary is very specialized and highly regulated business to be given such a generic frame work. More importantly, the data tables in the business plan intended to present to the reader approximate expenditures are ALL $0.0 for each of the entries. There are NO projected expenditures presented for a person to aid them in developing their own business plan. The most obvious impression that this screams to the reader is, "As the expert author of this book, I have NO experience".Further in the book the reader will find Pages 138 -145.
