Ohio Set to Launch Recreational Marijuana Sales in Mid-June
New regulations approved, paving the way for dual licenses for existing dispensaries to sell both medical and recreational cannabis.
- Ohio lawmakers have resolved months of legislative deadlock to approve rules for adult-use marijuana sales.
- Applications for dual licenses will be available by June 7, with sales expected to begin by mid-June.
- The new law allows adults 21 and over to purchase and possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and grow up to six plants individually.
- Revenue from marijuana sales will be allocated to administrative costs, addiction treatment, and social equity programs.
- Governor Mike DeWine, despite opposing legalization, urged swift legislative action to prevent black market growth.
