MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS HOT!
Call Fire Station 420 for Help
We’ve often wondered what makes someone open
a medical marijuana dispensary (MMD), and before
you say, “they do it for the money”, let’s set the record
straight — there’s a lot that goes into opening a
dispensary and Fire Station 420 is not one of those
doing it for the money. In fact, quite the opposite. Her
story might be one of good timing, but it’s also one of
passion and care for those in pain.
Brianna Bizness, the owner of Fire Station 420,
always liked helping people. She was working in the
restaurant industry (if you’ve worked in food service,
you know how tough it can be), and the legaliza-
tion of medical marijuana in OK came along at the
time when she wanted a career change. It was more
coincidence than some huge plan, BUT nothing about
taking action on her career change was easy.
That is only where the story begins. What Brianna
did next is what sets her apart from other MMD’s.
Brianna made sound business decisions, starting with
the best Oklahoma product she could find, because
her heart is invested in helping patients get the most
product for the best price, ensuring that patients don’t
end up buying their medical marijuana from a street
dealer where it could be contaminated for medicinal
use.
But that’s not all. Brianna knew the key to her suc-
cess would come from hiring knowledgeable staff to
ensure patients get the proper help they need. Just
like you wouldn’t give insulin to a patient with cancer,
the staff at a dispensary must know which strains
work best for each condition and they need to be
compassionate – the best “budtenders” being a cross
between a nurse, pharmacist and psychologist. Bri-
anna is quick to tell you that it takes more than train-
ing to work in a dispensary. “I hire people who are
enthusiastic to be in the medical marijuana business
to sincerely help others who are in pain. For example,
they know someone who had cancer or PTSD and
had great success using medical cannabis. They are
enthusiastic to help people get their lives back.”
Brianna’s business plan is to help as many patients
as possible. “I decided early on to keep my prices
low and go for quantity as well as quality. I don’t want
patients buying their medication on the streets.” This
translates to sometimes having a few patients waiting
for service at any given time. The staff at Fire Station
420 can be backlogged, so they ask that you be a
“patient patient” and wait your turn, knowing they will
give you the same level and quality of care as anyone
else.
Fire Station 420 is located at 7123 S 92nd E Avenue,
Unit D in Tulsa, and they will be opening two more
locations, one in Okmulgee and one in Wagoner.
