Ohio marijuana growers, processors to be first to operate in recreational market
Facilities that grow marijuana and create cannabis products will receive priority when the state doles out certificates of operation ahead of recreational sale in Ohio.
A total of 14 dispensaries, five cultivators and six processors in this region have received provisional dual-use licensing as of this week. A few final steps remain before any facility or business can begin working with recreational cannabis, according to the state.
“The different entities in the non-medical sales space have different requirements to obtain their certificate of operation and some may take a bit longer to process due to those requirements,” said Jamie Crawford, a spokesperson of the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control. “That said, to help ensure an efficient supply chain, applications from cultivators, processors, and testing laboratories will receive priority.”
