Cannabis … Ohio Style

Ganjapreneur shares that although Ohio is making a smart move by allowing dispensaries to apply for dual-use medical/recreational sales certificates, the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) has decided that dispensaries will be a no-fun zone:

Under DCC rules released Monday, outlined by the Columbus Dispatch, dispensaries will not be allowed to host ribbon cuttings when they open or have any celebratory décor, unapproved signage, or product displays outside the dispensary. No on-site consumption will be permitted, including samples. Music and food trucks are also not permitted outside of the dispensaries.

Dispensaries will be allowed to play recorded music inside, provide complimentary non-infused, non-alcoholic beverages, display the empty packaging of products indoors, and host ribbon cuttings and display signage and celebratory décor inside shops.

Whee.
