TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – The cannabis industry in Ohio is growing, and we’re not just talking about plants.

Back in August, eligible licensed cannabis dispensaries began selling to those 21 and older. That came after voters passed Issue 2, or the legalization of adult-use recreational marijuana.

Jushi is a licensed cannabis company that operates in several states, including Ohio. Leaders with the company previously told 13 Action News that they expected the industry to see a large amount of growth after adult-use legalization.

13 Action News caught up with the company at their Toledo cultivation site to see how their operation has changed seven months into adult-use sales going live.

“In this facility alone, we’ve increased our production by about 2.4 times,” said Trent Woloveck, the chief strategy director for Jushi Holdings Inc.

Woloveck said that the business has exploded to meet the demand for both medical and adult-use marijuana. He said they invested more than one million dollars into the Toledo facility, from investing in more plants, to hiring more staff.

Plants are grown, propagated, dried, and harvested right in the building. The cannabis is then transported to a processing facility in Columbus to package into product and deliver to dispensaries.

Lately, several communities in Northwest Ohio, including Findlay and Perrysburg, have debated whether to allow dispensaries within city limits.

Woloveck said cannabis may already be present, but through unregulated and illicit markets.

“I think it’s very important that we have an adult conversation about adult-use,” Woloveck said.

He said regulated dispensaries are much safer than the illicit market.

“You can text somebody on Instagram or Snapchat and they’ll deliver cannabis directly to your home, you know what those people don’t do? They don’t check IDs, they don’t validate that the product is independently third-party tested,” Woloveck said. “You don’t know what you’re consuming.”

Woloveck said regulated and licensed facilities have safe, standardized products that are tagged and tracked throughout the process.

Now that the industry is booming, that helps local communities bring in the green.

“We create careers, we invest in the communities and we pay tax dollars,” Woloveck said.

The work helps bolster an expanding legal market in Ohio.
