Several municipalities are taking significant steps toward establishing cannabis retail operations. Forsyth, Illinois, has approved an amendment to allow cannabis dispensaries, emphasizing tax revenue as a major benefit, while Manteca, California, seeks final approval for three dispensaries, focusing on community agreements and enhanced security measures. In Ohio, the Department of Commerce prepares to issue dual-use Certificates of Operation to 98 dispensaries, allowing them to sell both medical and non-medical cannabis ahead of the September deadline. Additionally, Port Huron, Michigan, is considering a special use permit for a new cannabis retail shop in a former bank building, marking the sixth such establishment in the area. Overall, these developments highlight the growing acceptance and integration of cannabis retail in local economies amid varying regulatory frameworks.
