Chillicothe Police Investigate Illegal Marijuana Sales at Western Ave Exotics

Chillicothe, Ohio – December 13, 2024 – The Chillicothe Police Department has launched an investigation into Western Ave Exotics following complaints of illegal marijuana sales. The investigation, initiated in August, has uncovered evidence that the business was selling products containing high levels of THC, confirming that the items were marijuana, not legally classified hemp products.

Ohio law strictly regulates the sale of marijuana, allowing only licensed dispensaries authorized by the Ohio Department of Commerce to sell marijuana legally. Western Ave Exotics does not possess a dispensary license, which makes the sale of marijuana at this business illegal.

On December 13, a search warrant was executed at the location, and items seized during the operation will be sent for lab testing. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are continuing to examine the situation.
