In November, the Ohio Department of Commerce approved four Dayton-area locations for the cultivation of medical marijuana. The licenses issued for those locations are for Level II cultivator status, which are required to be 3,000 square feet or less.
The state received 185 applications for 24 licenses. Seven other counties in the metro areas of Cleveland, Akron and Columbus won approval for cultivation sites.
Ohio's medical marijuana law allows people with as many as 20 qualifying medical conditions to buy and use marijuana if they have a recommendation from their physician. The law allows retail stores to sell marijuana plant material, patches, tinctures and oils. The law also allows cities and townships to restrict or prohibit medical marijuana businesses but not use.
