How and when did your dispensary start up?

The property has been in our family for 40 years as a vacant lot. When the original lottery was announced, we applied for a retail license and were very lucky to receive a license: Number 14 out of the 16 allotted. We had a modular building constructed and made all of the site improvements. After diligently working and building, we finally opened July 1, 2015.

What’s the story behind the name of your dispensary?

We love the story of Alice in Wonderland and the White Rabbit. The Jefferson Airplane/Grace Slick song “White Rabbit” is a favorite classic song we have always loved, and our last name being White makes it a perfect fit.

What does your dispensary offer patients that they can’t find anywhere else?

Top-notch customers service along with a family run relaxed atmosphere and large selection of products makes a great experience for everyone. We like to think we are the Cheers of cannabis.

How has the cannabis industry in Washington changed since you been in the business? Where would you like to go?

Since we opened, we have seen many more producer/processors come online for more variety and a drop in pricing. We would like to see the stigma associated with marijuana disappear as it becomes more mainstream and accepted. The dent legal marijuana has made in the black market is keeping out of the hands of minors. We would also like to see affordable products for true medical marijuana patients.

What are the biggest challenges you face in this industry as a dispensary? Biggest Joys?

A few challenges are navigating the constantly changing rules and regulations on both the state and federal levels, the exorbitant amount of taxes that both the state and feds collect, the ancillary businesses that charge more for marijuana businesses that would otherwise be cheaper for other industries and banking.

We believe our customers are our biggest joy—we enjoy them all, because here they are family!

What is the one thing you want patients to know about your dispensary?

All adults over 21 are welcome from all walks of life. Here, everyone is simply human. We have something for everyone from budget to top-shelf selections. Our buyers strive to find the best product at the best price to ensure our customers can leave happy and still have money in their wallet.

If someone wanted to open a dispensary and get their feet wet in the industry, what advice or counsel would you give them?

Wait it out as things are wild and the competition is tough. Things will level out in the near future.

What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish while in the MJ/MMJ community?

We strive to educate our customers about marijuana so more is known. This hopefully will help diminish the “stoner” image and make those of us that partake of marijuana unafraid to do so. We wish to combat the stigma and we wish to be a valued member of our community, by supporting charities and food drives, etc.
