SANDUSKY, Ohio — After a four-month delay, patients in Ohio on Wednesday are able to buy medical marijuana.
Patients entered The Forest dispensary in Sandusky to receive the first batch of medical marijuana.
There will be medical marijuana on the shelves, but the system designed to restock the supply after the first product sells out still has a long way to go before it's completely built.
