Florida Voter Support for Marijuana Legalization

Recent polls show strong support for marijuana legalization in Florida. About 70% of voters favor the initiative. If passed, this law would allow adults over 21 to buy and have up to 28 grams of cannabis. The initiative faces legal challenges. However, if it succeeds, it could be effective by May 2025. Analysts estimate this could generate between $195.6 million and $431.3 million in annual tax revenue.

Economic and Legal Implications of Cannabis Legalization in Florida

State economists and law enforcement are assessing the impact of cannabis legalization. They expect significant tax revenue from legalization. But, there are concerns about increased traffic incidents and DUIs. The Department of Corrections does not expect a significant decrease in prison numbers from legalization. The overall economic impact on law enforcement is still unclear.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Recreational marijuana use is legal next week for people 21 and older in Ohio, but that doesn’t mean they can go purchase marijuana from a dispensary without a medical marijuana card.

“Implementing this program quickly is really the best thing for Ohioans,” said Jeff McCourt, CEO and founder of Firelands Scientific and The Landing Dispensary.

McCourt’s company owns five dispensaries in the state, including one in Franklinton.

“Ohio really benefits from having a thoroughly regulated, tested, taxed, safe product already available to medical patients throughout the state,” he said.

McCourt is expecting a smooth expansion into recreational use.

“We’re ready in terms of all of the security regulations, the compliance regulations, testing, the tax mechanisms, all of these things are all pretty much set up already off the backbone of the medical program,” McCourt said.

Still, it could take months or years before people can walk into a dispensary and purchase marijuana for recreational use.

A division in the Department of Commerce first has to set regulations and create the licensing process.

Having the regulated program up and running as quickly as possible, it’s really important to make sure that some of the downsides don’t come, you know, the genie doesn’t come out of

Two cannabis companies are working together and seeking to convert the former Graziano’s Brick Oven Pizza in Niles into a dispensary, according to the chief operating officer of one of the companies.

Tim O’Hern, COO of Nature’s Grace and Wellness, told Pioneer Press his company and the Illinois Cannabis Company are working together to open what would be Niles’ second cannabis dispensary. He said while there isn’t a firm timeline and there hasn’t been a decision on what to name the store, he is hoping for a spring or early summer opening.

Niles’ first dispensary, Rise, located at the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and Golf Road, opened its doors in 2020. Mitch Johnson, communications and multimedia coordinator for the village of Niles, told Pioneer Press the village’s second cannabis district was approved by the village board in June 2022 and that various parties have shown interest in opening a dispensary since then.

Charles Ostman, Niles’ former community development director who has since retired, signed a conditional approval for O’Hern and ICC to open a dispensary at 5960 West Touhy Avenue on Sept. 18. O’Hern submitted the application for the dispensary on May 23.O’Hern said he is now waiting for the village to approve

Cannabis could be coming to Hudson Falls from local entrepreneur Belinda McPhee of McPhee’s Candy Shop.

McPhee recently submitted a site plan to the Hudson Falls planning board for a re-branding of her “Candy Shop,” that would turn the store into a legal cannabis dispensary. The proposed name of the new store is “High Society Dispensary,” and would be in the same location of the candy shop, 345 Main Street, Hudson Falls, N.Y. Currently, the candy shop, sells candy, tobacco and CBD products.

In her application to the planning board, McPhee described the action as an “addition of partition walls so that the old candy shop can be used as a dispensary. All non-load bearing to create additional spaces inside. No outside changes.”

When asked why it was important to expand to cannabis, McPhee told The Post Start that is was so the distribution in the community would be safer.

“It’d be in a business and not on the street…it can be regulated,” McPhee said.

She said that this dispensary, if approved, would be for recreational cannabis, not medicinal.

Biotanica CBD Store has been in the Brainerd area since 2019; it is owned and operated by two sisters, and both registered nurses. This July, they rebranded and relocated to become Biotanica Wellness Dispensary, located in Baxter on Hwy 371.

Biotanica started as a cannabis store and continues to offer a variety of high quality CBD and THC products and are fully compliant with the new MN State cannabis laws; they pride themselves on offering products that are going to be highly effective, clean in ingredients, and third party tested.

They opened their first location in Otsego in 2018, and Brainerd followed shortly 1 year later in 2019. Now, they have expanded to offer the Brainerd Lakes Area’s first eco refill store. They decided to expand into Biotanica Wellness Dispensary to share their passion with the local community in finding and using plant based products that can help improve overall wellness.

While they value the time and place that western medicine is needed, as nurses they want to help customers find access too holistic health and personal use products that are not only better and safer for human wellness, but also eco-friendly. It’s about creating new avenues to health.
