Ohio: Moratoriums sought for medical marijuana
Ohio’s regulations that will lead to the opening of most medical marijuana businesses are at least a year away, but that hasn’t stopped some local governments from pursuing moratoriums or outright bans on such businesses now.
“Folks are just jumping the gun,” said Aaron Marshall, spokesman for Ohioans for Medical Marijuana. “There’s no reason to cast a moratorium on any type of business. The system being set up is 12 or 18 months away. ... If you look at the places doing this, they are small towns, rural Ohio, more conservative areas that are afraid of the unknown.”
The effective date of Ohio’s medical marijuana law came and went Thursday with a whimper. Marijuana still cannot be legally sold in Ohio and the clock has just started ticking for three state agencies to develop regulations for doctors, growing facilities, retail dispensaries, testing laboratories, and processors.
