COLUMBUS — Nine public and private entities in Ohio have applied for licenses to test the quality and potency of medical marijuana, with three of the applicants focusing on locations in central Ohio.
The nine total applicants filed to create medical marijuana testing labs, according records released Friday by the Ohio Department of Commerce.
Central State University in Wilberforce and Hocking Technical College in Nelsonville were the only two public colleges to apply. The remaining applicants were all private entities. Four of the proposed sites are located in central Ohio, including Worthington in suburban Columbus, two others list sites in northeast Ohio and another applied for a site in Toledo.
Cleveland.com reported the state's medical marijuana law requires marijuana to be tested by a lab independent from cultivators and dispensaries.
