But these are not the only dispensaries that will be allowed to sell recreational Cannabis products in Ohio. While the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control started the process at dispensaries that already sell medical Cannabis; they're also processing applications from other companies as well.
In a Press release, DCC Superintendent, James Canepa, said “A big reason we were able to get to this point ahead of the Sept. 7 deadline was due to the foundation laid through the state’s existing Medical Marijuana Control Program. Since existing licensees had already met stringent requirements of that program, we anticipated this process to be rather smooth. They had already undergone many of the comprehensive checks as part of that process.”
In addition, he says, “As the non-medical cannabis market opens, the Division will continue to review and approve those 10(B) dispensary, or bonus licenses, for which eligible licensees have been able to apply with regard to additional locations,” Canepa said. “Since those additional sites will take time to construct, inspect and receive Certificates of Operation, we anticipate that, over the coming months and years, those 10(B) dispensaries will become operational.”
