by JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated PressCOLUMBUS, Ohio - , after new licensing rules for dispensaries cleared a key legislative hurdle Monday.
“I don't want to give anyone false hopes," he told reporters, when asked whether applications might even be available before then. “We're following the timeline in the initiated statute.
