Amoeba Music is a music fan's dream. But the store is now considering turning to weed just to stay afloat.

If you've visited San Francisco, Berkeley, or Hollywood and somehow managed to miss Amoeba Music, you really missed out. Any music fan will find something to love about the store, from the massive music collection where you can pick up rare and out-of-print records to the section where you can get your hands on t-shirts from bands you didn't even realize had merchandise.

But, like any brick-and-mortar record store, Amoeba is not immune from the power of the internet; when every single rare, Japan-only live album bonus track is available online, why even bother setting foot in a store? Even with the recent upturn in vinyl record sales, it's not an ideal climate.

So the owner of Amoeba, Dan Prinz, thinks he might have found the solution: apply for a marijuana dispensary license and start making money that way. Amoeba is no stranger to the lucrative nature of the pot business: their San Francisco store leases space to a dispensary above the shop.

They've applied for their license and their bid has to be accepted over five other businesses who have also applied. The business would also have to operate the dispensary out of a separate storefront attached to the main store.

As the pot legalization movement continues and expands, could music shop-dispensary combos be the future?
