Ohio’s marijuana industry continues to grow, and a new dispensary is bringing more access to patients and adult-use consumers. Standard Wellness has officially opened a new location in Lakewood, with the dispensary calling itself The Forest.

A New Dispensary in Lakewood

Standard Wellness, an Ohio-based marijuana company, has expanded its footprint with a new dispensary in Lakewood, Ohio. The store operates under the name The Forest, which is the company’s retail brand used across its dispensary locations.

This expansion is part of Standard Wellness’ continued growth in Ohio, where it has been involved in the state’s marijuana program for years. Opening a location in Lakewood allows the company to serve more people in the Cleveland area and surrounding communities.

Soft Opening

The Forest in Lakewood has already begun serving customers with a soft opening in early April 2026. During this phase, the dispensary has been offering:

• Express pickup for online and phone orders

• A streamlined in-store experience as the space continues to expand

A full grand opening is expected later this year, when customers will be able to experience the full retail space and expanded services.

What The Forest Offers

The Forest Lakewood provides a wide selection of marijuana products for both medical patients and adult-use consumers. Available products include:

• Flower

• Pre-rolls

• Edibles

• Concentrates

• Vape products

• Tinctures

• Topicals

• Accessories

All products are sourced from licensed cultivators within Ohio’s regulated market, ensuring they meet state safety and quality standards.

Focused on Community and Access

Standard Wellness has shared that The Forest is designed to be a welcoming, community-focused dispensary. The goal is to provide a comfortable environment where both new and experienced consumers can find the products that work best for them.

Lakewood is quickly becoming a key area for marijuana businesses, and the addition of The Forest helps expand access in a convenient location for many Ohio residents.

What This Means for Ohio Patients

For medical marijuana patients, this new dispensary brings several benefits:

• More nearby options for purchasing products

• Increased availability of different product types

• Greater convenience, especially for those in the Lakewood and Cleveland areas

As more dispensaries open across Ohio, patients are seeing improved access and a more developed marketplace.

Final Thoughts

The opening of The Forest in Lakewood is another step forward for Ohio’s growing marijuana industry. While the dispensary is currently in its soft opening phase, a full grand opening is on the horizon.

For patients and consumers, this means more choices, better access, and continued growth across the state.
