Ohio Regulators Crack Down on Unconventional Marijuana Sales: Ice Cream Trucks Banned from Dispensing Edibles
COLUMBUS, OHIO – In a shocking move, Ohio regulators have issued a stern warning to marijuana sellers: no more giving out free food from ice cream trucks.
The Ohio Board of Pharmacy announced the new policy on Thursday, citing concerns over public health and safety. Effective immediately, marijuana dispensaries in the state are no longer allowed to offer free snacks or treats from ice cream trucks, a popular tactic used to attract customers.
The decision comes after multiple complaints were filed with the state, claiming that marijuana sellers were using the tactic to lure in minors and promote their products.
"While we understand the appeal of offering free food, we cannot compromise on the integrity of our regulatory framework," said Ohio Board of Pharmacy Director, Stephen W. Buehrer. "We will not tolerate any actions that may potentially harm the public, particularly our youth."
The ruling has sent shockwaves throughout the marijuana industry in Ohio, with many dispensaries expressing disappointment and frustration.
"We’re extremely disappointed in the decision," said a spokesperson for Ohio Cannabis Co. "Our ice cream trucks were a fun way to engage with our customers and promote our products in a responsible manner. We will have to find alternative ways to connect with our community."
The Ohio Cannabis Co. is one of several dispensaries that have been operating ice cream trucks in the state, offering free samples of their products to potential customers.
While the move may seem harsh, health experts argue that it’s a necessary step to ensure the safety and well-being of Ohio residents.
"It’s crucial that we protect our youth from the risks associated with marijuana use," said Dr. Jane Smith, a leading expert in adolescent health. "We cannot afford to take any chances when it comes to the health and well-being of our children."
In related news, the Ohio General Assembly is expected to introduce legislation next week that would further restrict the advertising and promotion of marijuana products in the state.
