“I can’t emphasize enough the work that OHCANN members alongside DCC have put in to bring us to this day. We are stepping into a new future for Ohio where citizens will have access to safe products and communities will feel the benefits of this growing industry through tax revenue and job opportunities,” OHCANN spokesperson Tom Haren said.

A spokesperson from the Ohio Department of Commerce confirmed that some adult-use marijuana sales will begin Tuesday.

Some dispensaries may need additional time to prepare for the influx of customers, the OHCANN spokesperson said.

Customers should make sure their licensed dispensary is approved for adult-use sales before showing up.
