Weed Stimulating Colorado Economy?
videos
In a warehouse in northeast
Denver, the
Williams family is building up
Medicine Man, a business that they hope to turn into the biggest pot retailer in
America.
When
Colorado officially opened its doors and legalized sales of pot for recreational use on
January 1st, brothers
Pete and
Andy Williams, who founded the business, say sales were "incredible."
"Our biggest day was close to 400 people or so coming through, and on January 1st it was 900. We could have had a lot more but we ran out of time," Andy Williams, the
CEO, explained.
Three generations of the family work at Medicine Man -- including
Michelle, the matriarch who counts the green,
Jade, who works in trimming and
Ryan who oversees quality control in the drying room.
The family say business is so good they are expanding and will soon have a 40,
000 square foot warehouse. But they're not stopping there -- the brothers say they hope to become a household name in the years to come.
"I want to have a medicine man in every state that is legal and i think every state will at least go medicinal legal if they don't want to lose their residents. so i want to have medicine man be the costco or the kleenex of marijuana," says
Pete Williams, who serves as the company's
Chief Operating Officer.
The passing of the law opens up an unprecedented commercial cannabis market that Colorado officials expect will ultimately gross $578 million (
USD) in annual revenues, including $67 million in tax receipts for the state.
About $
200 million of the total revenue is expected to come from recreational sales, while the remaining is generated by medical marijuana sales.
Local economists like
Mac Clouse, a professor at the
University of Denver's
Daniels College of Business, says that so far, the pot industry is creating jobs and having a multiplier effect. He expects it won't be too long before Colorado becomes a model for other states.
"
Classic economic thought suggests that if something turns out to be a pretty good deal and profitable and seems to be working well it'll attract entry. So if the Colorado experience turns out to be not as dramatically bad as so people predicted, if it turns out to be a pretty normal business after a while and accepted and run smoothly then I think you're going to see a lot of states saying wow, that was a nice way for them to get $40 million for schools. That would solve some of our problems as well, maybe we better look at this."
Clouse points out that the success of the growing pot industry means a host of other industries are experiencing growth too. Prices of commercial real estate are already going up in Denver, and business consultants ready to lend their expertise to small mom and pop pot shops are on the rise.

The marijuana industry is going legit and attracting high-end investors.

"The legalization of cannabis is way bigger subject than just I can carry cannabis and not go to jail," says
Kyle Kushman, an expert medical marijuana cultivator and owner of
Pure Life Veganix nutrients. "
It’s about changing the future of the world."
Marijuana may have a way to go before changing the world, but sales of legal cannabis are beginning to change the face of business.
No longer is hemp just for hippies—blue chip investors are now putting their money behind legal weed. Since recreational sales began in
Colorado and
Washington last year, the number of publicly traded cannabis companies has grown from 13 to
300—and sales of legal marijuana reached $2.7 billion dollars last year.
Greg Levy, who runs food packaging company
Point Five
Packaging hopes that his business can capitalize on the new earning opportunities from legal marijuana. "The two people that get rich in a gold rush are the miners and the people that sell axes," says Levy. "Our packaging comes in the form of axes."
Entrepreneurs aren’t the only ones waking up to pot’s profit potential—even politicians see big opportunity in promoting legal weed.
Sen. Rand Paul became the first presidential candidate to raise money from the cannabis industry when he held a private fundraiser for summit attendees.
"Four years ago you had to chase down the presidential candidates and really nag them to talk about marijuana," says
Mason Tvert, communications director of the
Marijuana Policy Project. "Now we’re seeing all of the candidates being asked about it all the time and being open about. It’s hard to ignore at this
point. You have business owners. You’ve got employees. You got a base of tax revenue. You really have to start treating this like any other legal industry."
Reason TV traveled to
Denver, Colorado, for the
National Cannabis Industry Association's second annual
Cannabis Business Summit to find out how legalization is driving innovation and growth in the thriving—and legal—marijuana economy.

DENVER,
Colo. (
Jeff Hirsh) --
One week from Monday, Oct. 26,
Ohio voters will decide whether to legalize marijuana.
Issue 3 is a constitutional amendment that would allow both medical and recreational pot in Ohio.
Recently, reporter Jeff Hirsh and photographer Dan Cavins went to
Denver to see how legal marijuana is working in
Colorado. They found a local guy who ended up a major mover and shaker in the Denver cannabis business.
Nick Hice grew up learning about potted plants. Now he grows planted pot.
And then when they get a nice root system we plant them in one of these 3 inch cubes until we get a really nice root development coming out of these plants, he said. Hice is originally from Waynesvile in
Warren County, Ohio. His parents owned a nursery so Hice grew up with a green thumb, which is just continuing. Essentially the first month in the flowering room they're just sitting here, just stretching and developing height and then in the next
30-40 days they're just developing weight on the flower, said Hice. He got into the legal cannabis business in 2009 with the economy crashing. Hice moved from Ohio to Denver where the pot business was hiring. He joined a medical marijuana company called Denver
Relief and is now a co-owner. Since Colorado voters OK'd recreational pot in
2012, business has jumped 50 percent. There are no corners cut for the recreational product versus the medical product, said Hice. Part marketer and part horticulturalist, Hice now also has Denver Relief consulting; advising others on the business in lights, soil and action.
Absolutely, it's very much like growing a lot of other plants. Specifically, I would associate it with herbaceous vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes and things like that. A lot of the growing practices are very similar if almost identical. The nutrient recipes can be tweaked a little bit specifically for cannabis, but it many ways it's like growing a lot of other plants, he said. Of course, it's not exactly the same. Tomatoes are legal everywhere and are not, as marijuana is in Colorado, licensed from seed to sale and taxed.
Obviously, Nick Hice favors legal marijuana but Hice was not thrilled with the marijuana legalization campaign in Ohio. For example, he said the Ohio group's Buddie the mascot trivialized a serious issue. He said,
It's just like Joe
Camel, right.
Nobody wants Joe Camel advertising to our kids. And it's the same way with Buddie the Mascot. Hice also disagreed with how the Ohio legalization proposal limits the state to 10 marijuana grow farms, with perhaps one more down the road, I would be willing to be my paycheck if it wasn't set up the way it was, if it was set up the way some other states did it, they would have a much better chance of passing it.
Having the limited cultivation facilities is a big issue, not only the fact that they've limited it, but it's the investors who are running the campaign who have the rights to those facilities. In most other states like
Illinois there's a very intense application process going on. The 21 licenses they decided to distribute in Illinois, there were hundreds if not thousands of applications that were submitted, which allows for a very thorough vetting process.
Whether Ohio says yes or no to legal marijuana on
Election Day or not,
Ohioan Nick Hice believes that facilities will be spread across the
United States in the not too terribly distant future. He believes legalization of marijuana in the entire county is just a matter of time. ResponsibleOhio, the group backing a yes vote on Issue 3, said Buddie the Mascot was not aimed at kids but rather at millennials over age 21. The pro-pot group also said the 10 marijuana grow farms will compete with each other and will not coordinate their business plans.

videos
Brothers Scott and
David Menough's small business is for the birds. Literally. As owners of individual
Wild Birds Unlimited franchises in the greater
Denver area, the Menoughs have each met the needs of wild bird enthusiasts for more than two decades.
As part of their loyalty and community-building efforts, the Menough brothers co-host the weekly one-hour BirdTalk
Radio program, which currently is broadcast each Saturday at noon (
Mountain) on 710
KNUS AM. The show explores bird feeding, bird watching, nature, and our ecosystem in an entertaining and informative fashion.
Good-natured fellows that they are, Scott and David recently appeared as guests on
Business Unconventional and began the program with a parody of their own program.
Actual hosts David Biondo and
Dean Rotbart are, after all, bird brains.
The
2013 Small Business Drives Colorado™ Honors celebrate the many contributions of small business owners and entrepreneurs to Colorado's economy. The yearlong campaign is sponsored by
Mountain States Toyota, Cranberry
Newswire, LoomView Enterprises, NewsBios,
