State residents must obtain a physician recommendation under 22 qualifying conditions and register with the state to become eligible to buy marijuana flower and other products at the state’s 52 dispensaries.

Terradiol s chief executive officer did not return messages seeking comment.
The Department of Commerce, which oversees cultivation for the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, reconsidered a distance dispute that threatened Terradio s license and granted a time extension in 2019. That gave Terradiol until December 2020 to be ready to grow.
However, that deadline was moved to July 1 by the state legislature as part of the response to COVID-19, according to Department of Commerce spokeswoman Jennifer Jarrell.
Terradiol s extension request, filed in 2018, also included a revised facility plan. The request describes unanticipated challenges, such as structural issues and black mold, discovered during initial renovation work at the 59,000-square-foot building.
