COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Latest on marijuana in Ohio (all times local):3 p.m.Ohio says medical marijuana won’t be available for sale by the Sept. 8 deadline. Department of Commerce policy adviser Mark Hamlin said Tuesday that several cultivators have experienced inspection delays that make it impossible to have product on the shelves on the date set by Ohio’s 2016 medical marijuana law. Hamlin said the state worked aggressively to meet the deadline and is disappointed on behalf of patients at the delay. Ian James, founder and president of Green Light Acquisitions LLC, ran the unsuccessful ballot campaign to legalize both recreational and medical marijuana in 2015. Ohio has since legalized medical marijuana.
