John Kasich signed a medical marijuana legalization bill. This new law prevents patients from smoking marijuana or growing it at home, but it would allow its use in vapor form as well as edibles and oils. Conditions which a physician can recommend medical marijuana include AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy or another seizure disorder, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, pain that is either chronic and severe or intractable, Parkinson’s disease, positive status for HIV, post-traumatic stress disorder, sickle cell anemia, spinal cord disease or injury, Tourette’s syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and ulcerative colitis. In August 2018, Ohio issued the final stage of licenses for processors and testing labs.  Previously cultivators, dispensaries and testing centers have been approved. Now that all areas have been licensed the patient registry should open soon.  However, we still don’t expect dispensaries to open until late 2018, missing the Sept 8th mark that was planned for by a couple months. Some states call it a Budtender, Dispensary Agent, Compassion Care Technician or Patient Liaison. No matter what the title is, the job description is the same – it is the person that works behind the counter of a medical marijuana dispensary and here at HempStaff, we believe they need to be trained.
