FIRST WAVE OF OHIO MARIJUANA GROW SITES ANNOUNCED

The Ohio Department of Commerce has approved 14 applications for small
operations to grow medical marijuana, although only 11 will become
operational.

The 11 sites on which up to 3,000 square feet can be cultivated, will
be in addition to 12 sites on which 24,000 square feet can be
cultivated. Successful applications for the large sites will be
announced in coming weeks, Department of Commerce spokeswoman
