In America today, there is still a lot of debate about the legal use of cannabis. So far, only Colorado and Washington have legalized it for possession recreational use. Currently, there are twenty-three states where it can be used medicinally. Federally, it is still a banned substance. With different state laws and federal complications, there are many hoops to jump through for these business owners and their investors.
All of this legal wrangling means that cannabis growers and dispensaries cannot make the same sort of tax deductions that other companies can. This raises the price of doing business and limits their overall resources. The growth of these businesses in spite of all these challenges speaks to their determination and the public demand for the product. There is still a fair amount of legal controversy about the use of this product, but that isn’t stopping the industry from growing.
How Can A Mezzanine Help?
One of the most significant challenges these cannabis growers face is finding and maintaining locations to produce their product. Thanks to all of the quarreling over the legality of their industry, many growers have set up their cultivation rooms in a warehouse or indoor facilities. This need for indoor spaces has raised the market rate for warehouse spaces even higher. Growing indoors brings control and security, but it has the inherent hurdle of limited space and storage options.
Many of these growers have massive locations, but they might not be making the most of their space. A mezzanine is an excellent solution for these limitations. Just as an example, let’s say someone purchased a 50,000 sq ft location to use for cannabis cultivation. Theoretically, they could grow about 50,000 sq ft of their product. Just by adding a single mezzanine that is one-third the size of their building, they would increase their available growing space to 65,000 sq ft.
