Was your medical marijuana cultivator application denied. If so, you only have thirty (30) days to request a hearing and challenge this decision. The thirty day period begins the date the Notice of Intent to Deny was mailed; it does not begin the day you receive the Notice. In addition, your request for a hearing must be received no later than thirty days after the letter was mailed to you. Any request received by the Ohio Department of Commerce after the thirty day period will not allow you to challenge the Department’s decision. In fact, the Department plans on issuing a final Order denying your application if a request for a hearing is not received.

Requesting a hearing to challenge the Department’s decision to deny your application is a necessary step in preserving your rights. A hearing must be requested even if you plan on challenging the process in a court proceeding. Do not be left out.
