SUNNYSIDE, Ohio (KDKA) — There’s a new place for people to get their marijuana: Ohio.
On Tuesday, customers lined up at dispensaries across Ohio for the first day of recreational marijuana sales in the state. Nearly 100 medical marijuana dispensaries were authorized to begin selling recreational marijuana to adults.
Can you bring marijuana from Ohio to Pennsylvania?
But what happens if Pennsylvanians try to bring it back to the Keystone State ? Recreational marijuana remains illegal in Pennsylvania, and transporting it across state lines could result in federal prosecution.
“I think we’re behind the times, right,” one man said. “You can go to Maryland, Ohio, New York, everywhere bordering, you can go.”
Ohio joined four other states bordering Pennsylvania that allow the sale of recreational marijuana to adults 21 and over.
Just three days into the long-awaited opening of the Sunnyside Recreational and Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Wintersville, Ohio, the line to get in was sometimes wrapped around the building.
