Ohio has the worst med law in the nation. No home growing and no smoking the herb. Anyone with a record cannot partake in med cultivation. I'm sure the permits are expensive as well.

We have almost a dozen acres growing hay. Love to grow some herb. I'm a felon so that's a no go.

With the Republicans in control if the City, County, State and Nation. I could see the few med grows allowed and few shops that are going to open, being harassed/busted. It's about an hour to 2 different FBI offices.

Ohio sucks!

Just seen on the news, only 24 grow permits. 12 large and 12 small, for a state with a population of 12 million people.

Like being given the option form a last meal, shit stew or shit sand-which.

large = 1.5 million in escrow to apply
small= 150k in escrow to apply

I don't think that includes the 200k and 20k app/permit fee for each diff size. Really sucks the life out of a smaller company looking to grow slowly. Shoot you need to bring in corporate backing just to apply. Going to dictate company culture as a greed machine, and stress out the whole op. Those investors looking for immediate returns means the patient loses. Really sad about this. Its where I am from, but man am I glad I moved west long ago!

For something they didn’t seem to want to something that somebody looks to cash in on. 200 large just for a permit?? 200k X 12 = almost 2.5 mil in fees (just in the ante).

Can't find the news letter.

What's the count or limitations for small and large grows?

Still can't do it as having a record. Strange, as I can grow tobacco and brew beer or distill alcohol federally bonded. Just for some reason they think felon and weed equals something evil.

They can still suck a dick for all I care.

Quick glance online and it looks like federal distilling bonds are 25k. It would cost more than that for facility and gear.

I'd rather if I could grow recreational federally bonded. Might not happen in this life time. Would be a lot of competition out there as well. They haven't even began to dig that well.

I don't think it would be all big biz either. Not everyone would be able to do it. Not everyone would want to do it. It wouldn't be all norcal or huge farms in Kansas. I'd be happy with 1-5 mil a year. Have 300 amps in a nice basement on a farm growing hay. Just itching to make some bucks that don't eat hay!

the app and permit structure is broken down as: 20k for the app and 180k in permit fee if granted, for level 1, plus the 1.5 in escrow.
Op sizes were : level 1 25000 sqft and level 2 3000 sqft

I encourage you to stay up to date with email updates as all rules are in flux. Also public comment plays a very large role in the development of the regs. I saw it first hand here in Sonoma Co. The public shut down rural residential, which are minimum 1 acre plots, and rural Ag where you can have any other Ag enterprise except cannabis.
They are not going to come after you for stating your opinion, I urge all in the community to be active. The so called "experts" whose word they are relying on have their own interests in mind!

Escrow bonds now lowered to 75k for both levels.

What's some figures for how large plants could get in Ohio with indoor veg time?

Never could grow full day all day sun spots. Never could bring huge plants outdoors.

It will be interesting to see what Ohio soil & sun can do.
