Recreational marijuana sales will begin across Ohio on Tuesday when the state issues its first operating certificates.
Nearly 100 medical marijuana dispensaries will be able to begin sales immediately, although it’s not clear how many will be ready to open, the Division of Cannabis Control said Monday.
Many will be ready right away while others could be delayed by staffing or inventory issues.
The first round of operation certificates will go to 98 locations, according to the Division of Cannabis Control.
I voted for this ballot measure last year to legalize this. I have zero interest in consuming marijuana myself, but I’m certainly not going to stand in the way of others that want to partake. Simple possession of marijuana has also long been used by law enforcement against people of color at a staggeringly disproportionate rate (source) which can have lifelong detrimental effects from convictions.
I’m happy marijuana possession can not longer be used against otherwise law abiding adult users. This by itself is a very nice win for social justice and equality.
