Bowling Green medical dispensary preparing to sell recreational marijuana
The manager of Nectar on Main Street says the marijuana dispensary has submitted an application to sell recreationally. Ohio medical marijuana dispensaries are preparing to sell recreational marijuana, a step closer to rolling out the high life to anyone 21 or older. This comes seven months after voters passed Issue 2, allowing for recreational marijuana sales to be sold to those 21-or-older. The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control estimates that between 140,000 medical users and up to 2 million adult use users can increase the use of recreational marijuana. Once a dispensary's application is approved, it will be up to the business to decide when it wants to start selling recreationally. The manager at Nectar on South Main Street in Bowling Green, Zach Gergich, expressed excitement about the potential influx of business and preparation for the influx of new business.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Ohio are buzzing after many of them applied to sell recreational marijuana. This comes seven months after voters passed Issue 2.
Now dispensaries are one step closer to rolling out the high life to anyone 21 or older.
WTOL 11 spoke to people in Bowling Green who were excited for recreational marijuana to come so close to home.
"I think it's really exciting and long overdue," said Bowling Green resident Aria Piekos. "It's just going to add a lot more traffic to the city and bring a lot of opportunity."
The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control said 140,000 medical users can go up to 2 million adult use users.
The manager at Nectar on South Main Street in Bowling Green said the dispensary already submitted the application to become recreational. These are customers "Nectareen" Zach Gergich said he and his staff are preparing for.
"We're definitely looking forward to the influx of business," Gergich said. "We're gearing up, getting our staff trained, getting more people hired. We'll be ready for when it comes."
Applications can take up to two weeks to process and recreational sales could start as soon as the end of this month, according to the ODCC.
Once a dispensary's application is approved, it'll be up to the business to decide when it wants to start selling recreationally.
"It's kind of a waiting game depending on the state," Gergich said. "But we know that we got all of our licenses and compliance already. So, we hope to be one of the first in the state to start selling recreationally."
She wants everyone to know what they can and can't do with recreational marijuana, especially when it comes to driving.
"If you're driving impaired, you will be arrested," she said. "It's just like alcohol, we don't want you to drive impaired."
