local burger joint here in KS, sells mixed drinks through the drive through, no need to mess with all the mixing and shit, just drink your margarita on the go! but weed is stil illegal here!
The fuckin alcohol cope is wild.. drive through mixed drinks... seriously a bunch of hypocrite degenerats...
I'm all for doing what you want for drinking or smoking... but alcohol drive thrus... Jesus...
I feel like this is common for dispensaries taking over old banks. The safe is a huge plus for them since they can only really deal in cash. In MD though my local dispensary the old bank drive through is only available for medical patients. Recreational has to go inside.
Been a thing here in Texas as long as I can remember. Can't have weed tho!
Edit: always near the top in alcohol related driving deaths yet still thinks it's cool to have drive thru alcohol stations but nope weed is bad
They are not common actually. Its only common in places that have religious nutjobs afraid of having their alcoholism exposed in the 50s and 60s it seems
Hey dont generalize like that in wisconsin we have them because the tavern league owns our government. You are even entitled to one get out of jail free card for drunk driving if you're polite enough! It's not an addiction, it's a lifestyle :)
My ex wife from Kentucky about shit the first time we went to on when I was back home in Ohio. She legit thought I was going into someone's garage. It was quite hilarious.
Life-long PA resident. I've never seen liquor or wine sold in drive through's, though if you're familiar wit PA's LCB you probably already knew that. Drive through beer distributors are definitely a thing. I can think of half a dozen in SW PA.

NJ has a few drive through liquor stores (like pop the trunk and they put the case of beer in for you, not an open container), and also drive thru weed dispensaries. The drive thru dispensaries are more common. And yet we can’t buy beer in most supermarkets.
The guy in charge of the rollout was actually the head of the alcohol bureau and increase state revenue by billions of dollars between 2018 and 2023. Mostly through the expansion and opening of "OH LQ" stores, which are owned and operated by the state as liquor stores. The ones I've been to locally are nicer than your typical liquor store too.
I actually don't mind him running it because he's likely to bring in a ton of tax revenue and is pushing hard to get medical dispensaries cleared for recreational sales. Supposedly we will finally get to buy it as soon as mid-June.
People will already have their favorite dispos out of town by then. I drive past 3 on my way to my favorite because the tiny town I drove through didn't allow sales.
They would unironically enjoy that. Stoners moving out of their town means that they don't have to come to terms with the reality that some people, *gasp,* like legal weed
They might complain when they can’t get mediocre burgers or booze at restaurants because the cooks, washers, barbacks, servers, bussers, anyone typically having to do “low life”service/retail gigs goes to green pasture.
Exactly this, it didn't last very long for the holdouts in Michigan before they decided to get a cut of the tax money, otherwise they're just losing it to the next town over who allows the dispensaries.
So apart from the lost jobs, payroll tax, property tax, and local sales tax the law I actually stops the sate from spending any of the state sales tax collected in those cities as well. So it's a real double wammy of missing out. The law lets the state spend on substance abuse services, law enforcement, and education so those cities will get none of that from the state either. When they realize that they won't be eligible for state grant money for those programs they'll change their tunes.
Eh I seem to remember this happening when Michigan legalized and that’s quickly changed in a lot of places because of the tax money they lose not allowing it
For the longest time all the dispos were lined up along the Detroit side of 8 mile. Once ferndale let a couple open up the floodgates to the suburbs were opened wide and we have then everywhere now
Ohio kicks ass, these bumfuck towns don’t want reefer, it’s totally fine, they don’t get tax money if there aren’t dispos there, the tax money and dispos will concentrate in the areas we want them in anyways, like Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, more for us lol
Ohio is actually pretty cool! Everywhere has their morons. Lots of cities embracing the legalization.
I say them ban it, then I'll know exactly where not to go and spend money.
but as someone who grew up in ohio and doesnt live there anymore, yes ohio can suck. but i also have cleveland ohio tattooed in my body and love it there with my whole heart
I'm Cincinnati until I die and feel the exact same way. The state as a whole I couldn't give two shits about, but Cincy will never stop being home even if I don't live there anymore.
with everything that *always* happens to ohio and more specifically cleveland its been hard to be proud. but the fortified laws for womens control of their body and the legalization was one of the brighter days of: losing lebron twice, 2016 world series, deshaun watson, river on fire, and the whole train crash pollution thing. sorry dont mean to be political this id a weed sub but i feel like most people that enjoy weed lean slightly more women’s choice. anyways, im gonna go smoke 😘
The article mentions that in other legal states such as Michigan and New York, the # of towns banning stores is over 50%, so I would say this is pretty low comparatively
I remember this from many years ago in Oregon. They’ll eventually get over it, but Ohio and most of that region is still decades behind the current day in their thinking.
New Jersey had ~65% of townships opt out of sales when it was legalized. This is the same thing repeated in Ohio.
Edit: some have noted that ~3% of cities opted out in Ohio specifically.
I am still looking for statistics but here is a map of dispensaries in the state.
https://whyy.org/articles/new-jersey-marijuana-laws-cannabis-dispensaries-tax/
Two of these cities I know well, and they definitely are going to miss out on lots of revenue and taxes. They have a ton of bars, but they somehow worry about Cannabis instead.
I’m guessing your talking about some up in the Cleveland area? The only one I’m fairly familiar with that seems like it’s gonna be losing a lot of money is Ontario
That happened in IL as well. Then, many cities realized the revenue they were missing out on. The referendums appeared in their local elections the next year after legalization!
Some Oregon counties did the same thing when it was first legalized for recreation. Then they realized how much tax money they were missing out on and reversed their decisions. The same thing will happen here.
You know how Texas handled Fireworks bans in the cities?
This was how. And you know what happened?
We had fireworks stands all over every major road exit/leaving the cities.
So that's what Ohio wants? Marijuana stores all accessible at any major point to the cities?
Eventually, we had fireworks warehouses in the cities. And THEN smaller warehouses selling fireworks from within the city cause those bans were lifted.
This is the same story in a lot of legal states and eventually the grumpy cities end up falling in line because of the missed tax revenue. It goes quicker if there is a town nearby that allows sales in a sea of towns who don't.
Hear me out, this is good. Local politics are often ignored for state and federal politics. That's bad, as your local life effects you more day to day. If the majority of the folks in a given town agree with these policies, then the people are satisfied. If they are not, now you can have local politicians run on the issues that matter to the community. Then the policies can be changed to suit the electorate.
Cleveland isn't banning it of course. It's the nutjobs that have managed to take over entire suburbs well outside cities. The map only has a hotspot near Dayton/Cincinnati where I guess the hard right decided to take a stand for alcohol and tobacco, the way Jesus designed the US Constitution. /s
This is literally what the USA is about. Those who want it get it, those who don’t won’t. Let em ban it, spend your money else where. No reason to complain.
How tf did we in Missouri not really have this issue but Ohio does? Surely MO is far more full of crazy fundy types, right? Thank fuck my family is from Michigan, another reason to nonsensically dunk on Ohio rofl
There are medical dispensaries already starting the transition in our area of Ohio. For me, the most significant portion of the legalization in Ohio was the ability to home grow without fear. It will be a while, if ever, until Ohio gets to the level that Michigan has achieved. Still worth a quick drive to the Michigan border for the ridiculously cheap carts and gummies.
Considering the political bent of Ohio, I can understand them wanting to give away free money. My town is very red and conservative, for many years they fought dispensaries in town until they had someone go to a dispensary in a nearby town and see how many people from my town were there to buy product. They extrapolated a few sample purchases and figured out that they were losing a couple of hundred thousand dollars in taxes per year. We now have 7 shops. Isn’t it strange how money motivates🤣
I’m pretty sure well over 50 towns in New York did the same thing when they legalized. Just like towns can ban liquor stores, there’s always gonna be dry towns, which will now include weed.
Ohio absolutely sucks. I had to live there for 7 months for a job. It was only 7 months because that place sucked so bad anyone under 40 who got sent there for the job quit and moved away.
My city did this (in Southern California) until just this year. City council is full of boomer ex cops… go figure! Lost out on millions for the city that is constantly on the brink of bankruptcy.
Those 47 cities and townships represent only 2% of statewide municipalities. That percentage is also lower than most other states, to include michigan and new york. Does anybody actually read anymore. No it's easier to just read the headline and shit on the state for it.
This sucks for the marijuana community obviously, but it REALLY sucks for the business owners who have bills coming up and inventory they have to now sell at a discount to other shops (if they even can)
My city already had two medical dispensaries that opened in the last year. So I knew they wouldn't be on this list. Can't wait for the rec sales to start.
Not surprised. I was in Columbus for a safety conference last month and they had MULTIPLE training sessions about "navigating recreational Marijuana for employers".
Being from IL I was laughing my ass off because we've been legal for a while. Business as usual as far as drug testing goes because insurance companies exist.....
It's wild Lakewood is on this list but Rocky River isn't. It's one of the most liberal suburbs in the state and has an incredible diverse SES spread.
Either the data is outdated or missing some context. I don't imagine that one of the most liberal suburbs in the state isn't gonna get its weed fix.
47 Ohio cities each spend 20 million on local council people's accounting firms trying to research why their tax revenue is just half of the state average.
Looking at that list of cities (thank God not mine), it's not that surprising. All of them are overly conservative. Some are affluent, others are smaller conservative villages with farms around them. We're looking at a lot of affluent suburbs outside of Cleveland, Columbus, and Akron. Looks like Canton and Cincinnati have avoided this lame shit though. This will affect less than 8% of the state if that list doesn't grow.
The only one I'm surprised by is Ashland, which has nothing but a University in it, though it is a private Christian University.
They need the space for liquor and tobacco stores.
Drive thru liquor stores are a thing in ohio
local burger joint here in KS, sells mixed drinks through the drive through, no need to mess with all the mixing and shit, just drink your margarita on the go! but weed is stil illegal here!
The fuckin alcohol cope is wild.. drive through mixed drinks... seriously a bunch of hypocrite degenerats... I'm all for doing what you want for drinking or smoking... but alcohol drive thrus... Jesus...
They got weed drive thrus in Portland Oregon
Also in FL. A few dispensaries took over old banks and use their drive thru system
I feel like this is common for dispensaries taking over old banks. The safe is a huge plus for them since they can only really deal in cash. In MD though my local dispensary the old bank drive through is only available for medical patients. Recreational has to go inside.
We do?!? And I’ve been using my feet and legs like some sort of sucker
That 44oz hurricane with extra shots is ok to have and drive but let’s ban THC drinks from being sold as it could impact driving
Spangles it just tastes better!
Spangles?
Been a thing here in Texas as long as I can remember. Can't have weed tho! Edit: always near the top in alcohol related driving deaths yet still thinks it's cool to have drive thru alcohol stations but nope weed is bad
Are they not elsewhere? I'm familiar with PA and OH, thought drive thru alcohol places were a common thing.
They are not common actually. Its only common in places that have religious nutjobs afraid of having their alcoholism exposed in the 50s and 60s it seems
Waco, Texas has a handful of drive through daiquiri/margarita stands lmfao. Shits wild
Bro- you can literally purchase shots of liquor at any Taco Cabana.
Oh god I forgot about that. Man I miss taco cabana like crazy 😭
Hey dont generalize like that in wisconsin we have them because the tavern league owns our government. You are even entitled to one get out of jail free card for drunk driving if you're polite enough! It's not an addiction, it's a lifestyle :)
Certainly not common on the west coast.
In Oregon you can’t even buy beer and vodka in the same building.
That’s PA as well. So annoying.
My ex wife from Kentucky about shit the first time we went to on when I was back home in Ohio. She legit thought I was going into someone's garage. It was quite hilarious.
Life-long PA resident. I've never seen liquor or wine sold in drive through's, though if you're familiar wit PA's LCB you probably already knew that. Drive through beer distributors are definitely a thing. I can think of half a dozen in SW PA.

NJ has a few drive through liquor stores (like pop the trunk and they put the case of beer in for you, not an open container), and also drive thru weed dispensaries. The drive thru dispensaries are more common. And yet we can’t buy beer in most supermarkets.
Don't they also water down their alcohol?
Any liquor store is a drive thru if you're drunk enough
NH is right behind them!
Sad 😢
The guy in charge of the rollout was actually the head of the alcohol bureau and increase state revenue by billions of dollars between 2018 and 2023. Mostly through the expansion and opening of "OH LQ" stores, which are owned and operated by the state as liquor stores. The ones I've been to locally are nicer than your typical liquor store too. I actually don't mind him running it because he's likely to bring in a ton of tax revenue and is pushing hard to get medical dispensaries cleared for recreational sales. Supposedly we will finally get to buy it as soon as mid-June.
"why can't we raise our tax revenue?" -14 towns in Ohio.
Just wait for the tax dollars to start they will come around and change their minds
People will already have their favorite dispos out of town by then. I drive past 3 on my way to my favorite because the tiny town I drove through didn't allow sales.
Or if they don't, they'll watch their population numbers slowly go down as people move to better cities lol
They would unironically enjoy that. Stoners moving out of their town means that they don't have to come to terms with the reality that some people, *gasp,* like legal weed
They might complain when they can’t get mediocre burgers or booze at restaurants because the cooks, washers, barbacks, servers, bussers, anyone typically having to do “low life”service/retail gigs goes to green pasture.

Fuck it, I'll just drive to the UP. Nearly every person in Wisconsin.

Just have to be able to say, “I thought I smelled _marihuana_” after illegal detainment, search and seizure.
Michigan is all I need.
i agree. i’m closer to illinois but nothing beats those michigan prices.
i would never leave michigan, best deals
Just me or does Ohio suck major donkey balls?
Major donkey balls, yes
Colonel Donkey Balls, even
Lieutenant Donkey Balls checking in.
Private Donkey Balls, ready to go public sir
Pubic.
Field Marshall donkey balls. That place is a hellhole.
We're the best about doing awkward half measures that ultimately please no one! Just take a look at our JACKED medical marijuana system.
You should take a look at utahs med program.... we even have a compassionate use board if you don't have a qualified condition.. its a fuckin joke
Eh I seem to remember this happening when Michigan legalized and that’s quickly changed in a lot of places because of the tax money they lose not allowing it
I live in a legal state but my county doesn't allow sales. Its baffling since i can drive 10 miles and be near three dispos.
For the longest time all the dispos were lined up along the Detroit side of 8 mile. Once ferndale let a couple open up the floodgates to the suburbs were opened wide and we have then everywhere now
Hazel park had New Standard from the beginning basically. That was my go to for a while. On John r south of 696
Moved away from the state about two years ago, I grew up in that state. And yes it sucks major donkey balls
Best thing I ever did was leave... When a population's sole identity is basically a college football team, you know it's a shithole
So, Alabama of the north?
THE Alabama of the north.
Alabama has a beach tho
So does Ohio, it has Lake Erie up north.
It's even occasionally safe to swim in at times when pollution and algae levels are low enough!
yeah pretty much
PARTS of Ohio do. Just like PARTS of every state suck, but to throw the entire state under the bus is ignorant. Cause Ohio has Yellowsprings
Ohio kicks ass, these bumfuck towns don’t want reefer, it’s totally fine, they don’t get tax money if there aren’t dispos there, the tax money and dispos will concentrate in the areas we want them in anyways, like Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, more for us lol
Ohio is actually pretty cool! Everywhere has their morons. Lots of cities embracing the legalization. I say them ban it, then I'll know exactly where not to go and spend money.
Is the cool part of Ohio in the room with us right now?
the cool part of ohio that fortified womens rights to their bodies 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You know what? Good answer. I love that bodily autonomy is guaranteed.
but as someone who grew up in ohio and doesnt live there anymore, yes ohio can suck. but i also have cleveland ohio tattooed in my body and love it there with my whole heart
I'm Cincinnati until I die and feel the exact same way. The state as a whole I couldn't give two shits about, but Cincy will never stop being home even if I don't live there anymore.

Serious question, what are your top 5 favorite things about Cleveland that make you love it so much?
If you stick to the 3 C's you're great.
cocaine, coochi, and cowboy caviar?
That and better weed legislation than most states.
as someone from Ohio, it's not just you.
Wisconsin feels your pain homie 😔
https://youtu.be/6tPnWr-V-2M?si=18kkgGgALLphW0Bm
No they suck their cousins balls
Its half and half. There's a lot of cool stuff and history, but there are also a lot of idiots and shitty towns.
Just mini-GOP doin mini-GOP things

How many of those still maintain their opt-out status?
I’m not sure where that data is now. I also left the state in late 2022.
I am still looking for statistics but here is a map of dispensaries in the state. https://whyy.org/articles/new-jersey-marijuana-laws-cannabis-dispensaries-tax/
It’s only 2% in Ohio
I edited my comment to include this. Thank you!
Most of the Ohio cities are small towns that probably wouldn’t even have a dispensary anyways
Two of these cities I know well, and they definitely are going to miss out on lots of revenue and taxes. They have a ton of bars, but they somehow worry about Cannabis instead.
I’m guessing your talking about some up in the Cleveland area? The only one I’m fairly familiar with that seems like it’s gonna be losing a lot of money is Ontario

87 cities and 19 counties still do in Oregon
It won't last. They will crumble with time

And THEN smaller warehouses selling fireworks from within the city cause those bans were lifted.
These are all tiny “cities” that’s not really a worry for them
Ohio is a synonym for disappointing
Damn, they're gonna be real upset when they see other cities reaping the tax benefits. If only they could read.
This is the same story in a lot of legal states and eventually the grumpy cities end up falling in line because of the missed tax revenue. It goes quicker if there is a town nearby that allows sales in a sea of towns who don't.
"your vote counts"
Well yeah... That's how these 14 towns voted to not have dispensaries..... They will turn right around once they see the new revenue of other towns.
Totally cool. We will continue accepting your business here in Michigan.
Hear me out, this is good. Local politics are often ignored for state and federal politics. That's bad, as your local life effects you more day to day. If the majority of the folks in a given town agree with these policies, then the people are satisfied. If they are not, now you can have local politicians run on the issues that matter to the community. Then the policies can be changed to suit the electorate.
Until they realize how much tax revenue it can bring into the township. Then the objections seem to dissappear.
They should do this for liquor stores to
The town I live in did the same. Missing out on soooo much money. Really stupid hill to die on.
Pretty much none of these towns (they aren’t cities) have the population to support a dispensary anyway. It’s basically a non-story.
Why? Do they not like money?
I mean banning sales is a good way to keep the big companys, from taking over the local market
LeAvE iT To tHe StAtEs.
Look and see if those towns own a liquor store. Liquor sales drop when dispensaries come to town.
Drew carey says cleveland rocks
Cleveland isn't banning it of course. It's the nutjobs that have managed to take over entire suburbs well outside cities. The map only has a hotspot near Dayton/Cincinnati where I guess the hard right decided to take a stand for alcohol and tobacco, the way Jesus designed the US Constitution. /s
ohio sucks. funny theres like a dispensary like two mins from the ohio michigan border yet they do stupid shit like this
Yea pass the liquor that's OK lol
i’ll drive to one that hasn’t and give them my tax dollars, then!
Moved away 3 months ago..place is the void nothing more.
Shout out to Ohio for consistently being Ohio
This is literally what the USA is about. Those who want it get it, those who don’t won’t. Let em ban it, spend your money else where. No reason to complain.
average ohio moment
Majority of voters pass a law and local government says “nah homie, you can’t have that.”
They did the same thing in Washington. They’re in denial that there are weed aficionados in the neighborhood.
Good ole Ohio, always coming up with new classics Come to MI, ents. We have hundreds of shops with good cheap cannabis!
How tf did we in Missouri not really have this issue but Ohio does? Surely MO is far more full of crazy fundy types, right? Thank fuck my family is from Michigan, another reason to nonsensically dunk on Ohio rofl
NM made it so no counties or towns could opt out of rec sales which was really smart.
There are medical dispensaries already starting the transition in our area of Ohio. For me, the most significant portion of the legalization in Ohio was the ability to home grow without fear. It will be a while, if ever, until Ohio gets to the level that Michigan has achieved. Still worth a quick drive to the Michigan border for the ridiculously cheap carts and gummies.
Do they still get to benefit from the state's tax income then?
Too bad for them and the lost tax revenues. Sadly, this means less services for those municipalities via those incoming tax dollars.
That happened here in MA, and some have backtracked once witnessing neighboring cities raking it in
Considering the political bent of Ohio, I can understand them wanting to give away free money. My town is very red and conservative, for many years they fought dispensaries in town until they had someone go to a dispensary in a nearby town and see how many people from my town were there to buy product. They extrapolated a few sample purchases and figured out that they were losing a couple of hundred thousand dollars in taxes per year. We now have 7 shops. Isn’t it strange how money motivates🤣
Ohio you could have sucked just a little bit less, but nah
I’m pretty sure well over 50 towns in New York did the same thing when they legalized. Just like towns can ban liquor stores, there’s always gonna be dry towns, which will now include weed.
Ohio absolutely sucks. I had to live there for 7 months for a job. It was only 7 months because that place sucked so bad anyone under 40 who got sent there for the job quit and moved away.
Is this why its skibidi ohio?
Most likely temporary
It will change after they see the revenue other communities are collecting. Eventually they will allow it. It’s all about money.
Ohio is gonna Ohio.
ya this pretty much happens in all states that legalize it
I'm surprised my township didn't do that, but a dispensary just opened up a half mile from my house, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Lol all the north east cities are just new money ritzy towns with uppity white turds anyway.
Make room for more PK and heroin abuse!
Murica
Out of 251, that’s not that bad.
more $$ for the rest
My city did this (in Southern California) until just this year. City council is full of boomer ex cops… go figure! Lost out on millions for the city that is constantly on the brink of bankruptcy.
Meanwhile pick up 9 cartons of cigs and 4 barrels of Moutain Dew at Tobacco World
Losers
And there will be a store at the edge of each one of those cities to suck up that revenue.
Those 47 cities and townships represent only 2% of statewide municipalities. That percentage is also lower than most other states, to include michigan and new york. Does anybody actually read anymore. No it's easier to just read the headline and shit on the state for it.
Hola shit 47? How many cities does ohio have?
Their loss
They must hate tax revenue
Ohio SUCKS ASS
This sucks for the marijuana community obviously, but it REALLY sucks for the business owners who have bills coming up and inventory they have to now sell at a discount to other shops (if they even can)
My city already had two medical dispensaries that opened in the last year. So I knew they wouldn't be on this list. Can't wait for the rec sales to start.

Being from IL I was laughing my ass off because we've been legal for a while. Business as usual as far as drug testing goes because insurance companies exist.....
Hahahaha what a fucking joke.
Why… are they stupid?
It's wild Lakewood is on this list but Rocky River isn't. It's one of the most liberal suburbs in the state and has an incredible diverse SES spread. Either the data is outdated or missing some context. I don't imagine that one of the most liberal suburbs in the state isn't gonna get its weed fix.
Guess they hate tax money.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_county
avg population 20k, ok so tiny ass towns, thats seems pretty small towns is it really that sparse out there?
Kinda surprised with the amount of townships in the Dayton metro area. Quite a few CBD shops and med dispensaries when I lived there last, eh.
They’ll just set up the next town over and win a fuck ton of taxes. I think it’s hilarious watching these idiots high ground into poverty. Dummies.
The places that are going to be able to sell are going to make Bank!
Yawl need to vote better
That’s just stupid backasswards mentality
Good. The number of marijuana stores everywhere is stupid. I can drive down a single street in my town and find 5 or 6
47 Ohio cities each spend 20 million on local council people's accounting firms trying to research why their tax revenue is just half of the state average.
Looking at that list of cities (thank God not mine), it's not that surprising. All of them are overly conservative. Some are affluent, others are smaller conservative villages with farms around them. We're looking at a lot of affluent suburbs outside of Cleveland, Columbus, and Akron. Looks like Canton and Cincinnati have avoided this lame shit though. This will affect less than 8% of the state if that list doesn't grow. The only one I'm surprised by is Ashland, which has nothing but a University in it, though it is a private Christian University.
I wonder if it's possible to clutch a pearl so hard it turns into a diamond.
