The Cannabist Company Holdings Inc. (Cboe CA: CBST) (OTCQX: CBSTF) (FSE: 3LP) (“The Cannabist Company” or the “Company”), one of the most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and retailers of cannabis products in the U.S., released the following statement in response to the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (“DCC”) issuing the Company certificates of operation for its eight dual-use licenses, including five dual-use dispensary licenses, to begin sales of non-medical cannabis products at the Company’s retail locations and through its wholesale channels.

“The Cannabist Company is looking forward to welcoming new customers to our five dispensaries and to offering our premium cannabis products to our wholesale partners as non-medical sales kick off throughout the state. As a company dedicated to providing unparalleled support to our patients in Ohio, we are excited about the opportunity to extend this same level of service to non-medical customers. We’ve always been strong advocates for safe, regulated adult-use markets where customers can obtain trusted products. We commend lawmakers and regulators for their swift action and ability to get a program implemented less than a year after receiving the mandate from voters,” said David Hart, CEO, The Cannabist Company.

The Cannabist Company operates four Columbia Care retail dispensaries located in Dayton, Logan, Marietta, and Monroe, in addition to its gLeaf dispensary in Warren. The Company also plans to expand its footprint in Ohio by opening 3 additional retail locations and was recently given site approval for a potential dispensary located in the central part of the state. The Company has nearly 120,000 total square feet of cultivation and manufacturing space across its two facilities in Mt. Orab and Columbus, which have also been approved for adult use operations. Currently, the Company carries its three popular brands in the state: Classix, Seed and Strain, and Triple Seven. It plans to launch additional house brands in the coming months pending regulatory approval.
