Dispensary Near St. Bernard, Ohio
Two small independent cities, one nearby dispensary.
Serving St. Bernard and Elmwood Place

Both small independent cities sit right at Camp Washington’s edge, closer than most Cincinnati neighborhoods.

The Garden’s second store sits in Sycamore Township, well to the northeast, so for St. Bernard and Elmwood Place, Camp Washington is by far the closer stop.
What Makes a Product Ohio-Legal to Sell
Every product at Camp Washington, from flower to vape cartridges to edibles, passes through a state-approved lab before it can be sold, tested for potency and for contaminants like pesticides, mold, and heavy metals. The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control requires this on every licensed batch.
That testing is what separates a licensed dispensary product from anything sold without oversight: the number on the label reflects an actual lab result, not a grower’s estimate. How Ohio testing works covers the process end to end.
THC percentage gets a lot of attention, but it is only part of the picture. What THC percentage really tells you is worth a read if you are shopping mostly by that number.
Terpene content and cannabinoid ratios also show up on a tested label, and both shape the actual experience of a product more than THC percentage alone.

The store runs an open-concept layout rather than a locked case behind glass, so browsing feels closer to a regular retail shop than the older dispensary stereotype.
