Medical marijuana has been shown to provide relief for many ailments, from chronic pain to epilepsy and more. In Ohio, medical marijuana is legal, yet our town has been deprived of a dispensary. Without a local dispensary, residents who need medical marijuana for their health issues must travel long distances, adding unnecessary hardship to their already challenging health situations.

According to a study published in the Journal of Health Affairs, there is a noticeable reduction in opioid mortality in areas with access to medical marijuana dispensaries. By not having a dispensary in our town, we are potentially missing a crucial factor in the fight against the opioid crisis, which has tragically affected Ohio communities.

This is not just about granting access to medical marijuana for patients who need it. It's about our town recognizing the proven benefits of medical marijuana, and taking necessary steps for the welfare of its residents. It's time we bring a medical marijuana dispensary to our town.
