Wednesday, four dispensaries around the state are set to open at 9 a.m. on the first day that medical pot becomes legal under state law.
While none of the four dispensaries are in the Cleveland area, residents can expect others to follow shortly. The four opening are Cresco Labs CY + Dispensary and Ohio Valley Natural Relief LLC, both in Winterville, just outside of Steubenville, The Botanist in Canton and The Forest in Sandusky.
Those looking to purchase the medicinal herb must receive the go-ahead from a licensed physician. While edibles may be coming to Ohio soon, the stores will open with just regular old pot (although it may be quite a bit stronger than your typical bud).
However, you may not want to rush to the stores just yet. With only four stores opening, they may have a tough time meeting the demands of those 3,500 people who’ve already been issued cards by the state. Long lines can be expected tomorrow, as well as limits on how how much product can be purchased at a time.
According to the Akron Beacon Journal, there are still thousands waiting to get medical cards, which will eventually flood the demand on the market even more.
So, tell Grandma she can finally fix that glaucoma, but she might want to wait a few more weeks.

Sad and pathetic day for Ohio. More delusional people soon to be stoned. Hopefully the legit business will drive out the drug dealing scum that plague this city.
Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Until then, just STFU and go back to your bottle, drunky.
Hey asshole, go thump your Bible and shut the fuck up. Marijuana is helping heroin addicts get clean, ppl free from harmful medications. You keep trusting your doctors and see how far you get. They have an agenda. Push medications bc they get a kickback. Funny how that works
Having stage 4 cancer I would get a card but won’t because I will NOT give up my 2nd amendment rights.
give up my 2nd amendment rights?
WTF? You mean gun owners are not allowed a weed card, or what? Concealed carry permit holders can’t get a weed card because theymight shoot somebody while stoned and therefore paranoid? or does weed lead to itch trigger fingers? Just the opposite, i would think.
Okay, boss…it you really do have stage four cancer you would willingly give up your “secomd amendment rights” (gun ownership) to ease your pain. So go ahead…die a miserable and painful death with a gun in your hand instead of a joint that eases your pain. Better yet, just stick the gun in your mouth and end it all.
