Enhancing Medical Marijuana Dispensary Security

There are currently 21 states plus the District of Columbia that allow the sale of medical marijuana. Cultivation centers and dispensaries are needed for the growth and distribution of cannabis, which raises concerns about security for these facilities. Medical marijuana dispensary robberies are becoming alarmingly common, so if you’re planning to go into this type of business it’s vital that you implement basic security measures.

Maintain confidentiality of your marijuana garden

Be very careful who you invite to visit your marijuana garden. Although it’s exciting to show the inner workings of your business to friends, know that doing so opens you up to potential risks.

Use applicable security devices

There’s a wide variety of digital security gadgets available; choose the appropriate system that will help you monitor the safety of your garden. For instance, you can get security cameras which are very affordable. Security alarms are also great safety additions, since loud noises are often enough to scare off a robber.

Have a security threat and contingency plan


It pays to be prepared, so it’s imperative that you have a plan in case your place of business gets robbed. Some security agencies offer consultation, even help in training and implementation to protect medical dispensaries like yours from such attacks. It’s in your best interest to talk to them.
