Recreational marijuana sales will begin across Ohio on Tuesday when the state issues its first operating certificates.

Nearly 100 medical marijuana dispensaries will be able to begin sales immediately, although it’s not clear how many will be ready to open, the Division of Cannabis Control said Monday.

Many will be ready right away while others could be delayed by staffing or inventory issues.

The first round of operation certificates will go to 98 locations, according to the Division of Cannabis Control.

    I’m not following your logic. If demand is not high enough to support the store location, are you suggesting that these stores are being run unprofitably, and if so, where’s the money coming from to make up the shortfall to continue operations on a monthly basis?

    That space could be used for more local and more useful businesses.

    Or is it possible that landlords are taking a loss on rent because some rent is better than no rent because there aren’t more local/useful businesses willing to open in those spaces?
