For Independent Pharmacies Adding Medical Cannabis
I've built the cannabis program
other pharmacies wish
they'd started with.
Leading medical cannabis pharmacy in Georgia, profitable within 6 months. Partner at Vive Funds, a private equity group with $2B+ in real estate experience, and led $750M in real estate transactions. Now I help independent pharmacist-owners across Georgia build the medical cannabis side of their business.
Why This Works for Independent Pharmacies
You already run a pharmacy. Medical cannabis is a different business inside it.
You know PBMs, insurance, clinical dispensing, all of it. Medical cannabis runs on none of that. It's cash-pay, patient acquisition looks like retail and marketing instead of insurance contracts, and the systems that keep a traditional pharmacy humming don't touch this side of the business. I hit that exact gap building Lotus Farmacy, so I built the systems for it: real financial models, real marketing, real infrastructure, made for cannabis, not adapted from the script counter.
That's the piece I help independent pharmacies build.
The operational stack I bring in:
- Website & online ordering
- Financial & break-even dashboards
- POS & sales tracking
- Referral & loyalty programs
- Marketing & content systems
- Expansion & growth planning
What I Do
Three ways to work together.
Operational Buildout
A focused, hands-on engagement to build the cannabis-specific infrastructure your pharmacy doesn't have yet: patient-facing website and online ordering, cannabis POS and tracking, a real financial dashboard, and a marketing system built for cash-pay patients.
Ongoing Advisory
Lighter-touch guidance as your medical cannabis program grows: quarterly check-ins, updated systems, and the same playbook I use to run my own.
Strategic Partnership
For the right fit, a longer-term partnership with aligned equity, so we're both building toward the same outcome.
Get In Touch
Let's talk about your cannabis program.
If your medical cannabis line feels bolted onto your pharmacy instead of built into it, that's the gap I close. Currently working with independent pharmacist-owners across Georgia. Tell me a bit about where things stand.
