Starting a Small Business Selling Marijuana Plants & Seeds – Need Advice! (I will not promote)

Hey everyone, I’m looking to start a small side business selling **marijuana plants, clones, and seeds** in **Northwest Ohio**, where recreational growing was recently legalized. My goal is to start small with minimal investment and hopefully grow into a full-time business. # My Plan So Far: * Selling **clones ($40-70 each, smaller ones for $25-30)** * Selling **seed packs ($20-40 per pack, 3-pack & 6-pack options)** * Focusing on a **1-hour radius around my area** * No physical store – just local meetups and deliveries # My Questions: 1. **What’s the best way to start with a low budget (\~$50-100)?** * Should I focus on **Facebook Marketplace, Instagram, or another platform?** * Would it be smart to **invest in a simple website**, or should I wait? 2. **How can I build trust and get my first customers?** * Are there good ways to **market locally** without spending much? * Any recommendations on **branding and naming my business**? 3. **What legal considerations should I be aware of?** * Since I’m selling locally, do I need any **specific permits or licenses** beyond my LLC? I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience in **selling plants, running small businesses, or marketing locally**. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks in advance! 😊
