Hamilton Unveils Marijuana Dispensaries | Dayton News

Hamilton just flipped its stance on marijuana, officially allowing dispensaries after a tense 4-3 vote in city council — undoing a December ban that followed statewide legalization. Residents cheered the move, citing job growth and tax revenue as key benefits, while opponents voiced deep personal grief and skepticism about the need. Though cultivation remains off-limits for now, officials eye it as a future opportunity, especially with Hamilton’s utility infrastructure. Dispensaries must still comply with state rules and local zoning, including buffer zones from schools and churches — putting the city in step with most of Ohio, even as major metros still ban them.
