As Ohioans are learning the ins and outs of recreational marijuana sales, many would-be consumers have left stores empty-handed because they didn’t bring the green to get a little green.
The retail shopping room at the Shangri-La dispensary in Cleveland had a steady stream of customers as Ohio began the sale of recreational marijuana.The dispensaries each had ATMs inside for people who didn’t bring enough cash. However, some customers chose to leave the retailers empty-handed – either because they didn’t have the cash in their accounts, or because they didn’t want to pay the ATM fees.
Cash – and at some dispensaries, some debit cards – are the only accepted forms of payment at dispensaries. Visa, Mastercard and other forms of plastic are not accepted.‘It’s electric’: Local dispensaries see long lines on first day of recreational marijuana sales Prices on Monday on IHeartJane.com and WeedMaps.com, websites to which many dispensaries upload their menus, showed the price of an ounce of flower in the Cleveland area going from around $300 to $540. Prices have increased since last Thursday, when they ranged from $290 to $420 per ounce.When Ohio had exclusively a medical program on July 22, the average cost of an ounce of flower was $222.40, according to state data.
