GOSHEN TWP. ‒ Tuscarawas County’s first medical marijuana dispensary, Ratio Cannabis, is scheduled to open Feb. 27 at 1145 West High Ave.

The location, formerly a drive-through beverage store, is on an island of township property surrounded by land that lies within the municipal corporation of New Philadelphia, and in the city’s busy commercial corridor.

Entry to the state-licensed facility is be limited to those holding an Ohio medical marijuana card from a doctor. Majority owner Luke J. Marino said others may be permitted to enter, such as a parent of a child who is authorized to have medical marijuana.

Security measures include a locked outer door. Cameras and monitors allow an employee in the lobby to see customers outside.

Once inside, customers must travel through a “man trap,” a security feature separating the lobby from the sales floor. Only one door of the trap opens at a time, controlling access.
