Perspective Vlog
From the outside, dispensaries often appear busy, expensive, and cash-heavy.
But behind the counter, the financial reality is very different.
Most traditional dispensaries operate under strict regulations, heavy taxation, and limited deductions. While retail prices may seem high, much of that revenue goes toward compliance, security, labor, rent, and taxes that don’t exist in most other industries.
Federal tax rules prevent dispensaries from deducting many ordinary business expenses. This means businesses are often taxed on income they never truly keep. As a result, net profit margins for many dispensaries remain surprisingly thin.
This pressure has quietly reshaped the industry. Increasingly, brands are realizing that selling more product doesn’t always mean building more value. Long-term trust, education, and consumer understanding are becoming just as important as transactions.
