Chiefers, the wait is OVER!

Recreational marijuana is officially hitting the shelves at licensed dispensaries across Ohio Tuesday, August 6th.

Dual-use licenses have been granted to existing medical marijuana facilities. Dispensaries like Norwood’s “The Landing” has been prepping for recreational sales since Monday.

Before deciding to go purchase your newly legal flower, here’s a couple things to note:

• You must be 21 and have an ID
• Items cannot be opened on the property
• Inventory cannot be touched until purchased

Dispensary owners are already prepared for the influx of regular smokers and newbies. Abayomi Nelson with The Landing stated, “That is why I asked for patience. We have very rarely dealt with the amount, with the volume of people, that we will be getting. So it is going to be a hard learning curve.”
