CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio, August 16, 2024 — The grand opening of Get Wright, a new cannabis store on North Court Street, is making waves in Circleville just as the City Council is enforcing a moratorium on recreational marijuana within city limits.
Owner Jack Wright owns and operates five shops in Columbus and has been in the smoke and hemp industry since 2001. He is excited to showcase what his shop has to offer. Wright explained that while his products are very similar to those found in dispensaries, they comply with specific regulations in the 2018 Farm Bill. These products contain less than the federally mandated limit for delta-9 THC, but still offer similar effects due to their THCa content.
“Our products are designed to produce effects comparable to dispensaries, but at a more affordable price,” Wright said. “We don’t have the high taxes associated with recreational marijuana, which allows us to offer better deals. We can sell 3.5 grams for the usual 2.8 grams elsewhere.”
Wright emphasized the store’s commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction. Unlike many dispensaries, Get Wright allows customers to personally inspect products before purchasing. This approach contrasts with the often opaque practices of some marijuana retailers, where lab results can show low delta-9 percentages, potentially confusing consumers about actual potency.
“We offer a more hands-on shopping experience,” Wright noted. “Customers can see, touch and smell the products before they buy, ensuring they are getting exactly what they want.”
The store’s product line includes flower, edibles, pre-rolled joints, disposable products, carts and even THC-infused beverages and syringes. Wright also highlighted the difficulties of operating a hemp business amid federal restrictions, citing challenges in the banking and payment system.
Despite the legal and regulatory hurdles, Wright is optimistic about the store’s future. He sees it as a valuable resource for those looking for alternatives to highly taxed, regulated marijuana products. Get Wright is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Wright says the legalization of recreational marijuana makes things even more confusing for customers, so he offers his personal phone number so people can get questions answered directly and he can help people navigate the world of smoking. The number is 614-955-1045.
For more information, customers can visit Get Wright at 1165 North Court Street or contact them directly.
