Hi all,
I've been asked to do some consulting for a financier to set up a legal grow facility here in Australia and it got me thinking. If we could get enough small scale growers permitted to grow legal weed, we could set up a Co-Operative company similar to what they do with milk and fisheries. Have a board of directors made up of some of the growers and have all the product go through the Co-op. It would mean there would be a much bigger voice to lobby politicians and parliament and put big pharma companies on notice.
The financier I have is willing to put in $3-5M to get a grow facility up and running and get permits etc (permits are about $15-20k from TGA and local Govt here per year).
The more I think about it, the better it sounds but I wouldn't know where to start on the business side of things getting people on board etc ?
Someone please head check me, is this a dumb idea?
