ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Ohio Valley Natural Relief’s third educational forum will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday at Belmont College in Room 1100.

The state-approved forum will cover various topics related to the medical marijuana industry, including but not limited to learning how to obtain an Ohio Medical Marijuana Card, learn the 21 Qualifying Conditions, and information about the local medical marijuana dispensary.

The OVNR dispensary, located at 840 Canton Road in Winterville, opened its doors on Jan. 16. OVNR was the second dispensary in the state to complete their final inspection and receive their certificate of operation from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

“We’re excited to get the conversation going and educate the community and give specific details about how to obtain an Ohio Medical Marijuana card,” said Michael Petrella, CEO of Ohio Valley Natural Relief. “We are the area’s only locally owned and operated medical marijuana dispensary and look forward to educating our local community.”

OVNR anticipates having a large turnout due to the interest in the medical cannabis industry.

“OVNR is all about the patients,” said Petrella. “I feel honored to host the local community through these forums and can speak for all of us at OVNR when I say that we look forward to helping local patients and veterans find an alternative form of relief to their conditions.”

OVNR is a locally owned and operated medical marijuana dispensary based in Wintersville.
