Dispensary Near Cheviot, Ohio
Independent city, same Ohio law, one nearby licensed dispensary.
Serving Cheviot and the surrounding West Side
Cheviot is its own incorporated city, surrounded on nearly every side by Cincinnati, but Ohio’s cannabis law does not stop at a city line. Adults 21 and older can legally buy up to 2.5 ounces of flower or 15 grams of extract at any licensed dispensary statewide, and the closest one to Cheviot is The Garden Dispensary in Camp Washington.
This page covers the law that applies in Cheviot specifically, how the drive-thru operates day to day, and what is on the shelf right now, which you can always confirm on the Camp Washington menu.
The Garden’s other Cincinnati-area store sits in Sycamore Township, well to the northeast, so for anyone in Cheviot, Camp Washington is the practical option and the one this page is built around.
Ohio Cannabis Law Applies the Same in Cheviot
Ohio voters approved adult-use cannabis statewide as Issue 2 in November 2023, and it applies identically in Cheviot as anywhere else in Hamilton County. Any adult 21 or older with a valid photo ID can buy, and possession is capped at 2.5 ounces of flower or 15 grams of extract.
Being an independent city does not exempt Cheviot from state cannabis regulation, and it does not add extra restrictions either. The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control licenses dispensaries and sets rules at the state level, so the experience at Camp Washington is the same whether you drove in from Cheviot, Westwood, or downtown.
Public consumption stays illegal everywhere in Ohio, Cheviot included, and cannabis purchased here has to stay in Ohio. Ohio marijuana laws, explained covers the full statute if you want more than the highlights.
Home grow is also legal statewide, up to six plants per adult and twelve per household, which applies in Cheviot exactly as it does anywhere else in Ohio.
How the Drive-Thru Runs, Start to Finish
Order on the Camp Washington online menu first, then drive to the lane, show a valid ID, and pay at the window. The lane runs daily from 9AM to 11PM, an hour past the 10PM lobby close, and payment works the same as inside: cash or debit.
Behind the scenes, drive-thru orders get pulled and staged before the car arrives, which is why placing the order ahead saves real time over walking up and ordering cold. Peak hours run evenings and weekends, same as most Ohio dispensaries.
A full step-by-step walkthrough is in our drive-thru guide, useful if this would be your first time using a cannabis drive-thru anywhere.

Getting From Cheviot to Camp Washington
From Cheviot, Harrison Avenue and North Bend Road connect out to I-74, which runs a fairly direct line to the Colerain Avenue exit and Camp Washington. It is a straightforward drive without a downtown detour.
Free parking is available on site at the store, for both drive-thru and lobby customers, which beats circling for street parking in most parts of the city.
See the Cincinnati location page for a closer look at the building and surrounding area before you go.
What to Bring on Your First Visit
A valid, unexpired government photo ID is required every visit, no exceptions for regulars. Cash is the simplest payment, with an ATM on site, and debit works through a cashless ATM system if cash is not an option.
Standard credit cards are not accepted anywhere in Ohio’s cannabis industry, a federal banking restriction rather than a store-specific policy, so plan for cash or debit before you arrive.

Why The Garden Built a Drive-Thru in the First Place
Camp Washington runs one of Ohio’s first cannabis drive-thru lanes, built specifically to give shoppers a faster, more private pickup option than a lobby visit alone. For Cheviot, a small city where errands tend to stack, that convenience adds up.
The lane exists alongside full lobby service, not instead of it, so shoppers who prefer to browse in person can still walk in and talk to a budtender directly.
For a car-dependent trip out from Cheviot, the drive-thru turns what could be a fifteen-minute stop into something closer to a five-minute one, order placed ahead included.
