POTSDAM — The first state-licensed cannabis dispensary in St. Lawrence County opened with a bang on Thursday afternoon with a ribbon cutting and several dozen customers showing up as doors opened.

The Highest Peak at 25 Market St. is co-owned by Aurora Wood and Kinsey LaPointe. They had planned to open in the summer or fall, but were faced with setbacks at the state level that have since been ironed out, allowing them to open shortly before the new year.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – While Ohioans wait for the legislature to figure out any changes to the state’s recreational marijuana program, the question in the meantime is what are people who want to enjoy recreational pot supposed to do?

Ohio has three legal ways to get marijuana. Medical, which has been around for years, and you need a doctor to say you need the cannabis. There’s also home grow and adult use.

Local 12 spoke with defense attorney Joe Suhre about staying legal under Ohio’s new law.

Suhre said home grow is only for personal use. You can’t sell it or even give it away.

“No neighborhood parties where you go down to your friend’s house, you know, who’s got six plants growing to be able to get some from him,” Surhre said.

The law defines adult use. The law says you must be 21 to use recreational cannabis.

“Adult use marijuana statutorily means marijuana that’s been purchased through a dispensary in Ohio. I would presume that there’s going to be testing and packaging that’s going to be involved in that, and that’s distinguished from just your regular marijuana,” Suhre said.

The key there is that it must be purchased through a dispensary in Ohio.

Issue 2 is officially in effect in Ohio, making recreational marijuana legal throughout the state.If you at least 21, you can now grow plants at home and use, but how to actually buy recreational marijuana is still up in the air.But, a new push from Ohio lawmakers could make that easier and quicker than originally expected.Potential customers aren’t the only people in limbo. Medical cultivators and places like King City Gardens are also waiting on decisions this morning to kick-start this recreational marijuana industry in Ohio.Late Wednesday night, Ohio senators rushed to approve new regulations and restrictions surrounding Issue Two, with the governor urging lawmakers to take quick action to approve it.The House would still have to approve the bill which includes some big changes.Home grow would be limited to six plants instead of the original 12, a process for immediate expungement of marijuana possession convictions upon request, a public smoking ban, plus a tax increase on products from 10 to 15 percent. The bill aims to immediately start sales for recreational marijuana at existing medical dispensaries.This is something we’ve been told wouldn’t happen until next spring or summer time. “We also get three dispensary licenses as a cultivator.

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — The first day of Issue 2’s legalization is a bittersweet day for dispensaries.

Though it is now legal for adults 21+ to possess marijuana, no medical dispensary can legally make recreational sales.

Ohio Senate approves HB 86, House to consider

Recreational marijuana sales will be managed by the newly established Cannabis Control Division which will regulate the sale of non-medical cannabis in Ohio. This new division still has to iron out details on licensing and processes for dispensaries to have the legal ability to sell.

Those with medical cards cannot purchase recreational cannabis from dispensaries and will still follow rules in place by the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (OMMCP).

Recreational marijuana is now legal in Ohio. What happens next?

Local dispensaries say they have been preparing for an increase in business by adding staff, products, and security for when it becomes legal to sell recreationally.

Tracey McMillin, chief operating officer of Pure Ohio Wellness feels the industry will only explode once recreational use is fully in place.

“I think it will do like it’s done in other states. And I think
