When marijuana was legalized, a lot of people wanted to get into the business; In this region, a couple of farmers handle most of the marijuana farming, but the farms are immense with hundreds of flowering plants, and one farmer has 3500 acres with marijuana plants scattered from 1 end to the other.
I consulted with the girl when she was getting started, however she wanted to sell marijuana products directly to dispensaries & that requires special permits from the county.
I helped the girl fill out all of the necessary permits. I did not talk to the marijuana farmer again until last year. She called our corporation to request help with marketing; Both of us handle several odd aspects of the marijuana supplier including marketing & advertising. I met with the girl for a few hours & every one of us discussed some fluctuations that would help. The farmer was spending $1.26 on each gram of cannabis concentrate just for packaging. I knew I could help the girl find a cheaper wholesale distributor with better prices. Instead of bright & colorful packages, every one of us selected a matte black finish box with a hole in the bottom… You can see the product through the hole & the package is sleek & clean. The black matte box & packaging will only cost $.55 for each gram of cannabis concentrate. Both of us also set the famer up with a few of our other customers that are in the same industry. Together, I guess they might be able to form a co-op. That would save them currency on permits & state fees, while bolstering each of their individual brands.
