1st Ohio Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Opening This Week, Here's Where They All Are

Updated: Jul 20, 2023

Green Day

As promised, medical marijuana has finally arrived in Ohio! You read that right. In less than 24 hours from this writing (1/15/19), the first marijuana dispensaries will officially open their doors to Ohio medical marijuana cardholders.


This means that, if you have your Ohio marijuana card registered, and your doctor has filed your letter of recommendation with the Board of Pharmacy, you will be able to enter any of the dispensaries below, and purchase cannabis.


It is worth noting that only dry flower (or bud, like the picture above) will be available at launch. Patients should expect other cannabis products, like edibles, oils and tinctures, to become available in the coming months, so fear not if dry flower isn't your preferred method for using cannabis.


Patients should also expect limited supplies and higher costs at launch, both of which will taper off as more and more cultivators reach the final stages of cultivation, and more marijuana and related products become available.


NOTE: Dispensaries are a cash business, so be sure to have cash on hand when you visit. Some dispensaries are near an ATM machine, or have an ATM inside, but be prepared when you go and simply have cash ready.


ALSO: The opening of dispensaries will be a media blitz. If you do not wish to be photographed, interviewed or included in B-roll news stations may be shooting for stories, you should probably wait a week or so, until the media attention slows.


If you do not yet have your card, and you qualify for medical marijuana in Ohio, be sure to click here to get started. Getting your card is easy, and Ohio Marijuana Card makes the process of obtaining your evaluation and recommendation simple and hassle-free.


So...without further ad...the first dispensaries:
