Brunswick weighs adult use cannabis rules in council session
Brunswick officials discussed allowing adult-use cannabis operations under Ohio law. Law Director Nevar noted state provisions permit prohibiting or limiting licenses, with dispensaries licensed by the state and grandfathered medical licenses.
