LIMA — Adult-use recreational marijuana sales could begin as early as Tuesday, the Ohio Cannabis Coalition announced Friday.
Regulators from the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control started processing dual-use applications from medical marijuana dispensaries interested in selling recreational cannabis in June.
Those dispensaries may begin recreational sales as soon as next week, a month earlier than previously anticipated.
In a news release Friday, the Ohio Cannabis Coalition said some dispensaries may need additional time to prepare due to the anticipated influx of customers.
“We are stepping into a new future for Ohio where citizens will have access to safe products and communities will feel the benefits of this growing industry through tax revenue and job opportunities,” Ohio Cannabis Coalition spokesperson Tom Haren said in the release.
Adults must be at least 21 years old to purchase cannabis products from dispensaries once recreational sales begin.
