Ohio granting permits to companies for Recreational Marijuana market
Last November, Ohio voters approved an initiated statute to allow recreational marijuana use in the state for adults.
The statute allowed adults to grow their own marijuana for personal use and opened the state to recreational sales. But nearly nine months later, adults cannot legally buy it. The state is still working on its roll out process.
Ohio has now approved 34 medical marijuana businesses to expand into the recreational market. Those businesses include growers and processors as well as testing labs.
However, no dispensaries have yet been approved. The state has until September 7 to approve or reject dual use permits for medical marijuana dispensaries.
As the state moves closer to fully implementing recreational marijuana, businesses are preparing for a major influx in sales.
We will talk about the forthcoming legalized recreational marijuana sales in Ohio to begin Wednesday’s “Sound of Ideas.”
