right - i think the 90 days is what the state constitution outlines in general for laws/statutes. the dispo folks were only speaking to the logistics of getting everything set up on their end. the supply chain needs to grease the skids and get cultivators in position to grow for the demand that is expected. and then of course there will be regulations and certifications and labeling and blahblahblah.
again, this is pertinent to folks who aren't going to grow their own but still want rec access.

Right on, and currently there is only one commercial Grower In the state of Ohio, so NO WAY they can handle demand for the whole state off the jump without other growers popping up, and with the time taken to grow, unless the new grower starts with a shit load of Auto Flower plants, they wont even have product to sell for like 8 or 9 months.

Umm , there's something like 35-40 licensed commercial growers in Ohio right now .
Is that any where near enough to supply recreational use , absolutely not . But those people are all about making money so it'll be 100% certain that everyone of those growers started ramping up the very second they learned of even a remote possibility they could go recreational from the dispensary's So they can cash in on what will be sky high prices till the rest of the market can catch up

We can hope they aren't so stupid to try that nonsense , sure they will have plenty of suckers short term , but people will remember the price gouging when the market is up and running.
Not to mention all those who will just drive to Michigan.

Yeah, Michigan is already the answer for a lot of people. If you aren't too far and can make the drive, the prices, variety, and quality are pretty enticing. I'd be quite satisfied if we ended up with something like what I've seen at the dispensaries in Morenci, MI.
Outrageous prices would be a mistake for multiple reasons. Silly pricing would turn people off of course, diminishing demand and thereby minimizing tax revenue. That would also feed the black market, while the governor has made killing it a priority. Of course he sounds naive about it, as if he doesn't know there isn't already a strong black market in Ohio (there must be, since anyone who wants weed can already find it . Some small time dealers buy $60 ounces legally in MI and dish it out for $10/gram). No one seems to know what he was talking about when he mentioned wanting to prevent people from getting fentanyl-laced weed, which is something that basically never happens because it doesn't make sense to take something people already want as-is, add something that adds cost (which no one will knowingly accept or pay more for) and could potentially keep them from coming back for more. I'm sure that has happened somewhere, but it has to be incredibly rare and I've never heard of it. Our ridiculous medical pricing and hoops to jump through have definitely not helped shut down the black market.
