Ohio recreational ********** sales begin Tuesday. How much will weed cost?

Editors note: A previous version of this story stated that Bloom Medicinals was selling recreational ********** in Summit County starting Tuesday. The Beacon Journal was informed by the business that it isn’t selling recreational ********** yet and it’s unsure when it will start.

For **** enthusiasts in the Buckeye State, the wait is finally over.

The first recreational ********** dispensaries in Ohio open Tuesday, with more expected in the coming weeks and months.

Here’s what you need to know about the rollout of recreational ********** sales across the state:

Where can I buy weed in Greater Akron?

In Summit County:

Culture Cannabis Club: 1568 E. Archwood Ave., Akron

The Botanist: 46 S. Summit St., Akron

FRX Health: 1682 State Road, Cuyahoga Falls

In Portage County:

Bliss Ohio: 331 E. Main St., Kent

Supergood: 554 N. Chestnut St., Ravenna

How much ********** can I have in Ohio?

Adults 21 and older can possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and 15 grams of extracts or edibles.

But there are limits on what you can buy in one transaction. Initially, recreational customers can purchase no more than:

One ounce of dried plant material, called flower.

Ten units of oil to vape, each containing 590mg of THC.

Ten packages of edibles totaling no more than 1,100mg of THC.

The caps are combined across all types of products. That means you can’t purchase the maximum amount of flower, vape cartridges and edibles in one sitting.

What do I need to bring with me to buy recreational ********** in Ohio?

Customers will need to bring an ID to purchase recreational **********. It’s ******** for dispensaries to sell to anyone under 21.

Can I use a credit card at a ********** dispensary?

For payment, cash is king. This is because federal banking regulations open banks and credit card companies up to legal liability for accepting payment for cannabis.

Some dispensaries in the state accept debit cards for cashless ATM transactions, which also require a fee. The use of debit cards for ********** has proven a contentious topic, with Mastercard last year instructing banks not to allow cannabis purchases,

.

Customers who don’t bring cash can take money out of on-site ATMs for a fee. At The Botanist, another option is to provide your bank account information for an automated clearing house (ACH) payment with no fee, Ols said.

, The Citizen’s parent company.

“It’s more convenient for consumers, it’s legal, it’s compliant and it’s kind of an added precaution in helping a store mitigate the amount of money that it has to keep on hand,” he said.

Kate Ols, executive vice president of Midwest and New England regions for Acreage Holdings, the parent company of The Botanist, talks about changes it will be making for when ******-use ********** sales start during a tour of The Botanist’s Akron dispensary.

What types of products can I buy at dispensaries in Ohio?

At first, Ohio’s dual-licensed ********** businesses will sell the same types of products they currently offer in the medical market.

That means there won’t be pre-rolls or concentrates with more than 70% THC for ***** right away. Those could appear on shelves starting around September, provided the law doesn’t change. As passed by voters, it increased the THC cap for extracts to 90% and lifted a ban on combustion, or burning cannabis with a flame.

Products available now include:

Available non-plant-based accessories at numerous Ohio dispensaries include vaporizers for flower and concentrates, vape batteries and cartridges that can be filled with concentrates, and grinders for breaking up flower.

How much does ********** cost in Ohio?

Flower typically costs anywhere from $30 to over $100, depending on the strain and amount per container. Vape pens and cartridges can range from $25 to $75. Edibles are usually a little cheaper − about $15 to $30 per package − but high-potency products get more expensive.

These prices don’t account for sales or deals that dispensaries may offer.

What are the taxes on recreational ********** in Ohio?

Ohio will impose a 10% excise tax on recreational **********. That’s in addition to the 5.75% state sales tax on tangible goods.

Additional, local taxes vary by county, and in some parts of the state, there is a transit authority tax,

What’s the difference between indica and sativa?

Indica strains tend to be associated with relaxation and sedation − and often

 − while sativa is known for energizing users. Hybrids could be anywhere in the middle.

But it isn’t that simple, Wingfield said. He encouraged shoppers to talk with dispensary employees about their needs and what kind of effect they want from the product.

Can my employer bar me from using ********** even though it’s legal in Ohio?

Yes. Employers

use and ***** test employees for it.

How is Ohio law enforcement cracking down on people driving while high?

It’s still ******** to drive under the influence of **********, and passengers can’t smoke or vape in the vehicle. The state’s OVI laws apply to anyone who violates those rules.

Law enforcement can conduct multiple tests to determine if a driver is under the influence of cannabis,

. Field test results can signal to the officer whether they should arrest the driver.

Police typically conduct a blood or ****** test for drugs and alcohol

Under Ohio law, presumed impaired driving equates to “at least 2 nanograms of ********** in your blood or at least 10 nanograms of ********** per milliliter of your ******,”

Cresco Labs employees Meemee Talbert of Kettering, right, and Sarah Criswell of Fairborn move plants to the indoor greenhouse as part of the first ********** crop for Ohio’s new ****** recreational use program.

Where does my tax money go when I buy recreational ********** in Ohio?

Revenue from the 10% excise tax goes to four pots of money:

A social equity and jobs program geared toward people who were disproportionately affected by ********** prohibition. (36%)

Municipalities with dispensaries. (36%)

Substance ****** and addiction fund. (25%)

Administrative costs. (3%)

What if I’m a medical ********** patient in Ohio?

requires dispensaries to accommodate patients and caregivers, which could mean setting aside products or having dedicated hours for them. Licensees also must ensure there’s enough inventory for patients.

Medical ********** patients won’t be subject to the 10% excise tax.

Will I start seeing ********** billboards everywhere in Ohio like in Michigan and other states?

This is unlikely. Crawford said rules for ********** advertising need to be finalized, but they will be similar to the

in the state’s medical cannabis program.

Currently, Crawford said, “any advertisements with a high likelihood of reaching persons under the age of 18 are prohibited.”
