Kent Council Discusses Proposal for Medical Marijuana Dispensary
The Kent planning committee is discussing a proposal for a medical marijuana dispensary on 331 E. Main St.

The Kent Planning Committee will discuss a proposal to establish a medical marijuana dispensary in the city once again.


The committee will convene at 7 pm on Tuesday evening to discuss a proposed pharmacy at 331 E. Main St in Kent County. The meeting will be held in the basement of the Kent Fire Department located at 320 S. DePeyster St.


The current company, Slightly Toasted, submitted a request for site planning and conditional zoning to the city's planning commission in January.


However, after considering input from neighbors and determining that additional details were needed in the on-site plan before voting, the expert panel did not vote.


The owner of Slightly Toasted has stated that if the pharmacy receives approval from the city government and obtains a permit from the state of Ohio, the e-cigarette store will relocate.


However, neighbors of the proposed medical marijuana dispensary are expressing concerns about its proximity to residential areas, the entrance of Kent State University, fraternity houses, and the municipal court.
