WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN?
“Once an entity has received its COO, it is legally authorized to begin the sale of non-medical cannabis in addition to medical cannabis,” the DCC explains. “However, the issuance of COOs does not necessarily mean non-medical sales will begin immediately at every dispensary, as each licensee must determine when they will start sales based on factors including staffing, stock and other business considerations.”

The DCC says the issuance of these certificates is based “on roughly the order in which completed applications were received by the division” and when compliance asks were fulfilled.
“To help ensure a fair and equitable rollout of the non-medical cannabis market in Ohio, the Division intends to award COOs to all remaining eligible dispensaries later this week,” according to the DCC.
“A big reason we were able to get to this point ahead of the Sept. 7 deadline was due to the foundation laid through the state’s existing Medical Marijuana Control Program,” said DCC Superintendent James Canepa. “Since existing licensees had already met stringent requirements of that program, we anticipated this process to be rather smooth. They had already undergone many of the comprehensive checks as part of that process.”
