Many cities will not issue them a business license, just a Tax ID permit so you can pay sales taxes.
They can pay basic insurance but good luck on finding an insurance company that will cover any aspect of the marijuana itself.
They would typically have to pay a landlord for rent, often this just goes out of town or to wherever the landlord lives.
They do employ legal council and have to use if often. A local club that has only been open 2 weeks its being challenged to move out of the shopping center by all of the other stores in the center.
The city may claim that it causes a rise in crime in such areas that the clubs opperate. Then like I said about all they get to profit on is the sales tax on a medicine - when was the last time you did that?

I have family that works at a dispensary and another who runs a clinic and does massive amounts of business with the dispensaries. I'm not surprised, I am informed. My sister is a receptionist at a dispensary, she certainly is not volunteering and they tax her wages.
Every single friend of mine over there, even my own Father, has a card and is a regular now. The industry of it all is huge, and profitable on many levels.
Go try to open a business in Los Angeles without a license, and see how fast they are up your ass. And renting out a building to another business involves paying the city too. You don't live in LA or have ever done business there, have you? It is not cheap.
And sure, the city could claim it causes a rise in crime, but I am talking about Los Angeles. They care more about the money than the crime, seriously.
Do you people not understand how cities get rich and profit from businesses? Rome certainly wasn't built in a day, as they say.
