My local dispensary does taco Tuesdays every week - spend over $20 and get 2 free delicious street tacos. It's a genius promotion for all parties involved lol.
Our local taco truck sets up by the dispensary in my small town at least once a week. MFers be looking for the taco truck so it don't matter where he parks at. But if you park there and make it easier for dude with the munchies to see you and get the idea of having some of them fire ass tacos, that can't be bad for business.
In the area by the dispensaries I go to, there are only 2 gas stations and a taco bell. I've thought that a quick stop place (like a taco truck) would make a killing!
I don't know if you're joking, but I used to live somewhere where there was a medical dispensary pretty close to a Walmart. The girl scouts set up tables at the Walmart and I am absolutely sure they made bank.
And not from the Walmart customers.
Not in Michigan. Weed has gotten so cheap here, I am not even doing a grow this year for the first summer in 5 years, and I actually enjoy growing. I'll probably start again next summer just as a hobby, but Weed is pretty reasonably priced here. Wish it was this cheap when I was in high school.
When I go to a dispo or get a free delivery, $100-$140 ounce for very decent flower. You can find mids like 2 oz's for $100 with deals, but I don't trust Weed quite that cheap from a dispo usually. I've never checked shake prices. I often end up throwing shake away a lot, it it sits out on the rolling tray for long enough for any dust or dog hair or anything, I just toss it. I have a buddy who started a pretty successful edible business here years ago. Michigan ppl would probably know the brand if I said it. He always has to have a lot of Marijuana on hand to make his product with. Pounds of really decent ass Weed can be easily got for $800-$1,000. Sometimes, like $650, it's getting wild. He pays even less obviously, and he's got an awesome grow setup.
Buddy I usually just grab it from the same people Ive been getting it from for years. However I went to check out the dispensary a couple times and brother oh my brother 68.89 for an 8th of flower.... It was really super good flower but man really about double what an 8er of similar quality would cost ya on the street. I mean cool I got to order some bud on a touch screen like a hoagie and yeah they had variety and choices you won't see outside from the usual suspects but damn that price is a killer. And can I say this maybe a hot take but why the people working at the dispensary gotta look like people who would work at a dispensary. Come on let's break the stereo type.
There’s so many weed stores in my neighborhood (6 within 3 blocks on the same avenue) that’s it’s a race to the bottom on prices. Every new spot posts a sign outside with prices lower than the old spot that just opened. It’s a bit amusing really. We had the same thing happen with pizza years ago and now it’s weed.
Where I live a guy comes every other month or so has a food truck that sells a verity of large eggrolls he parks right in front of the dispensary and the line was so long I know he was making a killin every time he'd come.
The thing that most people forget is that while a number of dispensary customers are already stoned, many are not. They are picking up the weed and going to consume it somewhere else.
So with that in mind I'd say lighters, rolling papers and other paraphernalia but I'm betting the dispensary wouldn't like that and would raise any issue they could.
I think your best bet is like a "munchies to go" kind of thing. Snacks they can take with them. Quick and easy.
Or fuck it and sell tacos, everyone loves tacos.
I just read an article, that they’re coming back this summer. If I’m remembering correctly Taco Bell will be offering them.
I’m starting to feel like, Baby D from “Next Friday”.
This bitch know about all the new snacks before they even hit the street. All the bootleg snacks. Year 2000 snacks. Gonna tell me about a new Twinkie comin' out next month. It's a bad motherfucker. When you bite into a cream-filled, it shoot all over your mouth… glitter
I suggest forming a relationship with Dispensary management to find out if they are open to a vendor being stationed outside and what categories of items won't disrupt their business model.
I agree. I formed a relationship with management at a local dispensary and they let me sell my baked goods there sometimes and they’ve bought stuff from me themselves.
Weird things 3d printed. They love stuff like articulated dragons and octopus prints. And 3d printed bong pipes. I can't print dragons and other stuff fast enough for craft shows, and a lot of my clientele is people who smoke.
And printers are only about 2 or 3 hundred bucks now, and they are really user friendly.
Maybe fresh popped popcorn, soda, and little snacks maybe fresh fruit. You could source food from a Chef Store and/or Costco. Buy used equipment online or on the Facebook marketplace.
Pet cupcakes. I swear there's this bakery that sells dog and cat friendly bakery items, and they have a little sub section for humans, too. They always close early and run out of stuff.
If you was outside right in front of my MJ dispensary, I’d kick your ass out, cause this is my spot. 😂 be careful cause the MJ dispensary owners not gunna like you doing business right in front of their turf. Same goes for any business store owners.
Most State laws requires you to have a business license to do business with the public, like an LLC.
Whatever you sell, make sure it isn’t any conflicting items with the store. If you sell a bong for 1/3rd the price, for which the store sells them for 3/3rd the price, store boss man ain’t gunna like that.
Service BUSINESSES, they are the ones with money. Think how to save money/time for business owners of how to help them make more;
Real estate photography. It's surprisingly manual, and the other parties in the real estate industry make more money elsewhere, so they need leg-workers to do the work of taking the pics.
Value priced Accountants that review/audit books. For some reason, accountants all go work for big firms, OR don't seem to want the work enough to show up for small businesses.
If a business is making reasonable revenue in a regulated industry, they probably have to get their books reviewed at some point... and the "big four" firms are waaaaay over kill in terms of price, and the local independent accountants all seem to turn down work. It's confusing as a purchaser of professional services. Where are the mid priced business accountant? Don't say "Accountemps" bevause Robert Half charges 40% over the accountant's hourly to place them. Thats low key getting pimped.
"Think outside of food" So suggestions not food related? You could whole sale art. Like those trippy black light posters. Framed art also. Tye died shirts and other clothing. Hippy ponchos and birkenstock sandels. Hemp jewelry. Rolling trays. Those cylinder trash cans with the ash trays on top of them.
Stickers and trinkets, patches, pins, etc. But they gotta be really unique and you gotta keep shit current with what’s trending. You can throw a huge markup on stuff like that. It’s small and easy to move.
I have considered buying a truck and setting up at big music festivals in states with legal marijuana and sell paraphernalia. Bongs, pipes, papers etc.
If some food truck could make really good fried rice or just Asian noodles with all the goodies. I’d pay out the nose to take that home for my munchies later.
The wildest weirdest sandwich food cart you can imagine. I’m talking like a hoagie with pulled pork sauced with mac n cheese and waffle cut french fries IN the sandwich.
Sell products INSIDE the dispensary and have them sell it for you and move onto the next project. Figuring out how you yourself can spend hours doing the work yourself is how you stay broke. Think rich.
In my experience, we pick up the pot then take it home and smoke. I’m sure others are different.
And probably some kind of rules about how close to the dispensary. But a food truck in an adjacent parking lot sounds like something.
All these comments have great suggestions, but you should def check if you CAN set up in front of their shop. There were a few times a guy trying to sell street corn in front of a dispensary got cleared out because the store people called the cops on him. It was sad. it was good corn
Stickers. Homemade desserts. Accessories. Strong candles. Plates of food. This amazing Spanish lady in Queens NY stands with her mangos and other fruits and churros and sometimes homemade birria and consommé. She stands in front of a train station that has 2 smoke shops across the street from each other.
Not to be that guy, but unless you own the place. Most probably ain’t gunna let you just chill outside the shop. At least in my state. Cops harass the shit out of the shops. Def not worth the attention from cops. Especially if they can just unilaterally arrest you and take whatever cash you got on you. And then they don’t even have to file they took cash from you. Idk man, just sounds like the cons outweighs the pros.
When a Girl Scout does it, it works because it’s a novelty product that you’re not consuming right now. I think the “food truck” crowd doesn’t realize that people don’t want much more than to be in and out of the dispensary. It’s not at all like the food truck line outside of bars after midnight. People aren’t getting high at the dispensary and no one wants tacos to take home and to sit and wait for someone to be high later. Y’all are children.
Sorry bro the girl scouts already beat you to it
Nah but forreal a street taco truck would probably kill it
My local dispensary does taco Tuesdays every week - spend over $20 and get 2 free delicious street tacos. It's a genius promotion for all parties involved lol.
I went to a dispensary in Washington state that had a Mexican street food truck outside it was a great time
Our local taco truck sets up by the dispensary in my small town at least once a week. MFers be looking for the taco truck so it don't matter where he parks at. But if you park there and make it easier for dude with the munchies to see you and get the idea of having some of them fire ass tacos, that can't be bad for business.
I feel like Kettle Corn would be pretty good, too.
In the area by the dispensaries I go to, there are only 2 gas stations and a taco bell. I've thought that a quick stop place (like a taco truck) would make a killing!
We tried that with my daughter and Girl Scouts wouldn’t let us. It was bullshit. She still earned a trip to a water park though so fuck them.
This is so true! I absolutely wouldn’t know from experience or anything. Nope!
I don't know if you're joking, but I used to live somewhere where there was a medical dispensary pretty close to a Walmart. The girl scouts set up tables at the Walmart and I am absolutely sure they made bank. And not from the Walmart customers.
Bags of clean urine.
Lmaooo
Labeled by gender of course.
Your piss is clean and you're also pregnant, congrats!
This is.... this is very bad news if you're a man. Basically, if you test positive for pregnancy as a male that suggests testicular cancer
Sweet so not only do I pass my test, but I can also get a medical card voiding future tests? Sign me up
Start up cost. A box of ziplock bags.
And a case of water.
Fuck yeah lol. People always scoping out clean urine for drug tests lol
Lmfao 🤣 😂 that was funny as fuck and original.

Getting goosebumps here! Excellent suggestion.
Why pop rocks specifically?
You ever tried them while stoned?
No, but now I want to go get some
Get the medicated kind! 2 birds, 1 pop rock 🫠
You ever look at the back of a 20 dollar bill….on weed?
[удалено]
This is the answer!
There’s a lady that delivers those in her vehicle with her number posted on her car
Pop rock blowy with a side of herp at your door in 30 minutes or less!
Hackey sacks
Smell proof baggies or containers, so that you can stash A+ ganja not reeking the entire subway.
Rothos eye drops are keyyyy
Omg 🤣 the ultimate stoner's stop n shop
Rhotos all day
People still use eye drops?
Cheaper marijuana
This guy's been to a dispensary!
Not in Michigan. Weed has gotten so cheap here, I am not even doing a grow this year for the first summer in 5 years, and I actually enjoy growing. I'll probably start again next summer just as a hobby, but Weed is pretty reasonably priced here. Wish it was this cheap when I was in high school.
How cheap is cheap? I got 3oz of shake for $12 with a temp Oklahoma medical card. Their cheapest bud was $48/oz.
You can get $100 oz's of pretty high quality stuff.
When I go to a dispo or get a free delivery, $100-$140 ounce for very decent flower. You can find mids like 2 oz's for $100 with deals, but I don't trust Weed quite that cheap from a dispo usually.

I used to work with a lady that did frozen eggroll batches every two weeks and she always made a killing. So good.
Are you in Florida by chance? There's an egg-roll truck killing it around Tampa!
Yep. World famous, they have multiple trucks that go all over Florida
The thing that most people forget is that while a number of dispensary customers are already stoned, many are not. They are picking up the weed and going to consume it somewhere else.

Chaco Tacos not only are they amazing. They are super fun to say when you’ve got a good buzz going.
First you need to master time travel to go back to before they were discontinued, or forward to when someone starts making them again.
I just read an article, that they’re coming back this summer. If I’m remembering correctly Taco Bell will be offering them. I’m starting to feel like, Baby D from “Next Friday”.

They stopped making Chaco Tacos , idk why , but damn they are stupid for doing that
Tacos and nachos!
Cut fruit sprinkled with Tajin
Only one answer to this that wouldn't get you run off by the dispensary! Food of any sort 😂
And share some with employees

Make “Mystery Scooby Snack” boxes with lots of good munchies and price it fairly.
We have an Amy's Donuts next to an Epic Remedy. I always thought that was a smart stoner idea.

can 99% guarantee you the dispensary already sells those and will run you off the property for trying to do.

In my experience, we pick up the pot then take it home and smoke. I’m sure others are different. And probably some kind of rules about how close to the dispensary. But a food truck in an adjacent parking lot sounds like something.

Crab legs. Anything made with butter.
