[PRESS RELEASE] – NORTHFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, Aug. 15, 2025 – Klutch Cannabis, one of Ohio’s leading vertically integrated cannabis companies, announced the grand opening of its newest dispensary, located at 10650 Northfield Road in Northfield Village, Ohio. Doors will officially open at 10 a.m. Aug. 21, 2025.

The new location marks Klutch’s first dispensary in Summit County, where the company is headquartered. Conveniently situated directly across the street from the MGM Northfield Park Casino and Racetrack, the dispensary is easily accessible from Route 8 and I-271, finally bringing much-needed access to medical cannabis patients and adult-use consumers in Northern Summit County communities, including Northfield Village, Macedonia, Northfield Center Township, Twinsburg, Hudson, Sagamore Hills, Boston Township, Richfield Township, Bath Township, and more.

The expansion further solidifies Klutch’s retail footprint in Northeast Ohio and represents an important milestone as the company begins delivering its renowned top-shelf products on its home turf. Offerings will include exclusive drops and limited releases along with customer favorites from the company’s Klutch Cannabis and Habitat by Klutch lines, its Ohio-exclusive brand partners, and other Ohio cannabis companies. The Northfield dispensary will also feature Klutch’s signature aesthetic and exceptional customer service, as well as a convenient drive-thru pickup window for pre-orders.

“We’re incredibly excited to expand Klutch Cannabis’s retail footprint to Summit County,” Klutch founder and CEO Adam Thomarios said. “This location has been years in the making and will finally provide patients and adult-use customers in Northern Summit County with access to the quality, care, and consistency that Klutch is known for. Our thanks go out, especially, to the community, administration, and officials in Northfield Village for being such great partners from the start.

Every so often, a cannabis book comes along that feels like it has been missing from the shelf for years. Veronica “Vee” Castillo’s Cannabis Legacy Chronicles Series: The Traveling Cannabis Writer’s Guide to America’s Hidden Gems – Part 1: The 30,000-Foot View is one of those rare finds.

We read it cover to cover and it is clear: Vee has built something more than a travelogue. This is six years of crisscrossing the United States, living out of suitcases, rental cars, and guest rooms, documenting over 200 stories that mainstream media rarely touches.

The book brims with voices from every corner of the cannabis map: Black, Brown, and woman-owned businesses, legacy cultivators preserving genetics through prohibition, Caribbean entrepreneurs blending tradition with modern cannabis tourism, and women who left corporate jobs to open dispensaries, grow medicine, and build communities.

What sets it apart is Vee’s perspective. She writes like someone who has been in the grow rooms, sat at the kitchen tables, and walked the fields, not parachuting in for a quick profile but staying long enough to see the heartbeat of each place. Her chapters on women innovators, cultural preservation, and equity-driven tourism do not just inform, they inspire.

This is not a story about cannabis, the commodity. It is about cannabis, the connector.

If you care about the soul of this industry, if you want to see the people and places that make cannabis culture rich and resilient, this book delivers. It is equal parts history, advocacy, and celebration, wrapped in storytelling that is as authentic as it gets.

Vee will soon be bringing that same depth of reporting to High Times, and if Cannabis Legacy Chronicles is any indication, readers are in for something special.

We cannot recommend it enough. Grab your copy of Cannabis Legacy Chronicles: Part 1 here and see why we are so excited to welcome her to the High Times family.
