First medical marijuana dispensary in Southwest Ohio opens

LEBANON, Ohio (WKRC) - The first medical marijuana dispensary in southwest Ohio is now open for business. A long line of people gathered outside About Wellness Ohio in Lebanon on May 21. A line of people was waiting when the doors opened at 9 a.m. Tuesday. People moved through the line slowly. When they get up to the door, each person must show ID to a camera posted on the door. The door then opens electronically. Customers go in one at a time. Some of the people in line here have already been using medical marijuana but were forced to drive hours away to get it. About Wellness Ohio is the first of seven dispensaries located in this area. John Helpling says medical marijuana has been a life-saver after a back injury. "It's not scary, it's nothing to be afraid of, it's a natural alternative medicine. For me to get to get off prescriptions after taking pain pills for over 10 years and pain management, it's the answer I was looking for." A doctor's recommendation based on one of 21 designated illnesses is required to buy medical marijuana. Cancer, Parkinson's disease and Crohn's disease are among the approved conditions. People must also be registered with the state.
