Moving to Lowell was a big risk at the time. It’s easy to say that now, because the risk paid off and I have enjoyed several years of moderate success. At that time I had no idea how things were going to play out. I was investing everything I had into a small business, in the hopes that this was the best spot for success. People have questions why I moved to a town like Lowell to start my cannabis dispensary, instead of a bigger city with a bigger customer base. The answer is simple – I like Lowell, and saw myself building a life here. There is more to life than just money, right? I knew that if I could make my cannabis dispensary a success in Lowell then I would be set for life. Quiet neighborhoods, a thriving business district, nice people – Lowell is one of the best spots in Michigan to start a family. Also, the fishing around here is tremendous! At my cannabis dispensary I also sell fishing gear, and maps to the best out-of-the-way fishing holes around Lowell. What other place in Michigan but Lowell could I combine my passion for cannabis with my love of fishing? Most people would have never put these two interests into the same business, but those people don’t understand how much fishermen enjoy cannabis. Most of the people in Lowell who enjoy fishing also enjoy doing it with a cannabis joint dangling from their lips. This means I need to open my cannabis shop before dawn, when the fishing is best.
