The pot business is booming in Colorado, and the owners of one of the state’s largest marijuana dispensaries have big plans: to become the "Costco of weed."
According to the Denver Post's Cannabist, members of the Williams family, who own Medicine Man in northeast Denver, are embarking on a $2.6 million expansion including a 20,000-square-foot retail space "all in white like an Apple store."
"We're building a showcase for the world," Andy Williams, Medicine Man's president and co-founder, told Time magazine.
Their current headquarters — located in Denver's Montbello neighborhood, now dubbed "Potbello" — includes bulletproof glass, armed security guards, 65 video cameras and a $35,000 charcoal air filtration system that is supposed to eliminate the pot smell coming from the building.

Also, Costco only sells things in 50 pound packages.

I’d open up an indoor cafe, sell brownies and gum, and name my customers Munchkins.
Doesn't look like his dad's lawsuits went anywhere either.
Good heavens, what next?
I’d be more than a little afraid that the Mexican drug cartels would retaliate against me for stealing a good portion of their business. I’m afraid armed guards wouldn’t stand a good chance against the cartels.
Weed Dynasty. The storyline of a typical family, with grandpa as the head grower, and his four sons. Include a storefront, the farm, natural arguments with the local cops, some conflict with wives, some journalist who keeps asking stupid questions, and a couple college kids from Harvard who want to ‘score’ and take a truckload back to sell on the streets around Harvard.
should we manage to retake the whitehouse and/or senate, putting these effers in prison should be at the top of our list of things to do.
LOL!
CA medical marijuana dispensaries take in $1B/yr in sales, generating $100M in taxes for the state. CO's medical mj shops make $200M/yr in sales. Add in the numbers from the other 18 states and DC with the program. It's a thriving, multi-billion dollar industry and it's getting bigger.
So where are the cartels?
It should be clear to even the thickest prohibitionist that the federal war on pot has collapsed and it’s not coming back.
What’s the armed guards for? Pro-legal pot advocates have been saying legal pot would reduce crime!! And pro-legal pot advocates say pot users are peaceful kind who just want to get high.
yes yes, Obama has pandered to the pot heads. That can change pretty quick though and it should. This country is screwed up enough without encouraging drug addiction. It sounds like you’re a drug addict already though and, as such, there’s no point trying to reason with you. You will just have to learn the hard way like every other drug addict and alcoholic does. I’ll be sure to give you a nod and a smile when you’re standing on the corner begging for change just like I do for the rest of them.
I just assumed, wrongly obviously. I guess there’s enough money to go around for everyone.
In the state capitol.
Ha,ha, thanks for my first laugh of the day.
...so has the State of Colorado commuted the sentences of people serving time for possession of marijuana?
To guard the million$ in cash, Mr. Obvious.
Honestly folks. If I didn't know better, I'd think some of you guys were in CO doing 'opposition research'.
