SOLON, Ohio — Solon is getting a new kind of green business this July: its very first cannabis dispensary.
The Botanist, located at 33113 Aurora Road, is preparing to open its doors pending final approval from the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control.
Kate Ols, executive vice president of revenue for The Botanist, said they are hopeful that approval will come this week.
Once open, the dispensary will serve both medical marijuana patients and adult-use customers.
The company also plans to launch a drive-thru soon after opening, giving shoppers a convenient and discreet way to pick up orders without leaving their car.
The dispensary's opening comes as Solon officials consider new zoning regulations that would limit how close marijuana dispensaries and vape shops can be to each other.
The proposed changes aim to prevent over-concentration, promote public health and reduce youth exposure to cannabis and vape marketing.
