Getting a Cultivator License & Land Use Permit for a Medical Cannabis Dispensary in Ohio
Given that the state of Ohio has only recently legalized medical marijuana, the rules pertaining to land use and permission to cultivate are often murky and difficult for business owners to figure out on their own. (This is why getting in touch with a cannabis business lawyer is essential to the success of your business.) If you’re like most, you probably have a few questions regarding land permits and locations restrictions, such as:
- Where can marijuana dispensaries be located in Columbus?: In the state of Ohio, retail dispensaries are prohibited from being within 500 feet of a school, day care, church, playground, library, or other public space. While these restrictions are limiting on their own, cities and townships often adopt their own regulations regarding placement of cannabis dispensaries, and you must comply with the terms laid out by both state and local governments.
- Can I move my dispensary to a different location after being given a provisional license?: No. Obtaining a license to run your cannabis business requires that you obtain approval for the specific location where you intend to conduct your business, which is not transferable to your new location. You must be re-approved in order to move your business to a new location.
- Where can I legally cultivate medical marijuana in Columbus?: Individual citizens are forbidden from growing their own marijuana in Ohio, and obtaining a cultivation license is very challenging. In order to do so effectively, you must consult with a cannabis business law attorney.
When you call The Meranda Law Firm LTD, we can help you obtain a cultivator license and make sure your business complies with all local and state laws that pertain to medical marijuana cultivation and the land use permissions.

There are three reasons I recommend Zachuary Meranda if you are arrested for DUI. First off, he is a straight shooter. Never did he sugar coat my situation. Second, he handled everything while keeping me informed and walked me through everything as it progressed. Third, he got me the result- NO DUI!!! Thanks Zak!- Shane Dolen

Should I be worried if I am innocent?The short answer to this question is yes. Our legal system, though endowed with powerful rights and time-tested procedures, is far from perfect. Proclaiming yourself innocent is far from a legal defense, and you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to gather information and refute evidence. It is a sad fact that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they did not commit. If you have been arrested, a team member from The Meranda Law Firm LTD, serving both Columbus and Newark, can go to immediate work on constructing a strong defense and on seeking to have unfounded charges dropped.
-
What important legal rights am I entitled to?If you find yourself crossways with the law, you have important rights that must be protected. First, you have the right to be informed of your rights by police should you be arrested. You have the right to remain silent, which can help you avoid self-incrimination. You also have the right to avoid subjection to an unreasonable search and seizure. Perhaps most importantly is your right to an attorney, and should you face criminal investigation or arrest, you should be in immediate contact with a Columbus criminal defense attorney for knowledgeable and skilled legal counsel.
-
Why should I hire a criminal defense attorney?When you are facing a criminal charge, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, your future stands at serious risk. Not only do you face the prospect of jail time, fines, and probation, but if you are convicted you will also carry with you a permanent criminal record that can make such things as obtaining employment, educational opportunities and housing problematic. A lawyer can make sure that your legal rights are well-protected and that a strong defense is mounted on your behalf. Going it alone in the criminal justice system can put you in peril of many unwanted consequences.
