Recreational marijuana in Ohio – here’s what shoppers are buying

All kinds of recreational marijuana products were made available to Ohioans in earlier this month , but which do Buckeye State residents prefer?

Bloom Medicinals, a cannabis company selling both medical and adult use marijuana, offered some insight, and a smaller local shop, Locals Cannabis at 914 Cleveland Ave in Columbus followed similar trends to its multistate counterpart..

The company gathered data on marijuana purchases across their four Ohio stores, including one location in Columbus, from the launch of adult use sales on Aug. 6 to Aug 15, including gender, age and product type.

From Aug. 6 to Aug. 10, dispensaries generated $11.5 million in revenue, according to the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control. The number nearly doubled by Aug. 17, sitting at around $22 million, and sales are expected to remain steady and outpace medical marijuana sales.
