    Marijuana Dispensary in Jamesburg - Need Help!

    in General Discussion

    I would like to open up a marijuana dispensary in Jamesburg and call it "Jay & Silent Bob's Not-So-Secret Stash". This is not going to be like most dispensaries in NJ that will be huge chains owned by big corporations. In order to convince the powers that be in my town that the residents want a marijuana dispensary to open here and qualify for a micro-license, which requires that at least 51% of the business is owned by residents of the municipality or adjacent municipalities, I am going to crowdfund it with at least 1,000 local small investors.


    I believe that the Jay & Silent Bob name will help this small, community-owned business compete with the big chains. What is the best way to connect with Kevin Smith and negotiate the rights?

    Heyo, congrats on your idea. Your very FIRST step on this idea is make sure you get the approval of Kevin/View Askew for any use of likeness or trademark. I work in marketing, web design(I built this site) and branding. The most difficult thing in this world can be to get rights from others. I would suggest having a fall-back name, possibly a reference TO the movies instead of something that IS a name of the character or movie. Godspeed.

    Agreed, Paul. I would never go forward with this naming idea without paying for the rights and I would not even reference the movies without Kevin's approval. Do you know how I can get in touch with him or whomever is associated with him who makes these kinds of decisions? If you don't want to give out their contact information, can you give them my email address so that they can contact me? It is bertinlefkovic@gmail.com. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If I can get this venture off of the ground, I am going to need someone to help with branding, marketing, and web design. Please send me your contact info and what the expected costs would be.
