How it works

How cannabis is sold in Dayton

Dayton's neighbours split hard after Issue 2: some froze shops, others banned them.

Place	Adult-use shops	What the record shows
Dayton	Allowed	Six licences on Verdex's list; AYR in east Dayton was among the first to sell adult-use in August 2024, the Dayton Daily News reported.
Kettering	Prohibited	Council passed a nine-month emergency moratorium 5-1, then prohibited commercial adult-use cultivation, processing and dispensing.
Centerville	Recreational banned	Council voted unanimously to block recreational dispensaries and 4-3 not to extend the ban to medical ones.
Xenia	Ban proposed	The Dayton Daily News reported a proposed ban on adult-use operators.

Wayne Avenue: Columbia Care at 333 and Guaranteed Dispensary at 1910
Elsewhere in Dayton: Salem Avenue, Germantown Street, Patterson Road and North Keowee Street
Dispensary cap: Ohio's SB 56 caps licences at 400 statewide from 20 March 2026

Why does the map stop at the city line?

Ohio lets a local government prohibit or limit adult-use operators, so each neighbour chose separately. Inside Dayton the register lists Columbia Care and Guaranteed Dispensary on Wayne Avenue, Off The Charts at 3145 Salem Ave and Green Releaf at 3620 Germantown St. Certified Dispensary is at 951 Patterson Rd, and FRX Elyria Craft Cannabis sits at 1401 N. Keowee St. The Ohio guide covers limits and taxes.
