Quick Route Overview
Starting from downtown Toledo, you'll head north on US-223 for about 30 minutes. The drive is straightforward - no complicated highway switches, no congested freeway sections. US-223 takes you directly into Adrian, Michigan, where Olswell sits just off Beecher Road. Total distance is roughly 25-30 miles depending on your starting point in Toledo.
The US-223 Route - Step by Step
Head north from downtown Toledo on US-23 until you connect with US-223 heading northeast. You'll stay on US-223 for the entire drive - it's one of those rare routes that doesn't require constant GPS attention. The road is well-maintained, relatively flat, and you'll pass through some small Ohio towns before crossing the Michigan border.
Once you cross into Michigan, you're about 10 minutes from Olswell. US-223 becomes the main road through Adrian. You'll notice when you've crossed the border - there are state markers, and the landscape starts to shift slightly. The road quality is good, and signage is clear.
Parking & Store Location
Olswell Adrian is located at 1465 W Beecher Rd, Adrian, MI 49221. When you arrive, you'll find dedicated customer parking right at the entrance. The lot typically isn't crowded during off-peak hours, so parking is easy. Even during evening rush hours, you won't spend time circling for a spot like you might at bigger urban dispensaries.
The building is modern and clearly marked. You can't miss it - look for the Olswell signage on Beecher Road. If you're coming from the south on US-223, you'll veer west toward Beecher Road. GPS coordinates will get you there accurately if you prefer that route.
What to Expect at the Border Area
This is crucial - know what to expect so you're not surprised. The US-223 border crossing between Ohio and Michigan is not a staffed border checkpoint. You can simply drive across. No one stops you. No customs. Just a state line.
However, here's the legal reality: cannabis purchased in Michigan must be consumed within Michigan. Transporting cannabis across state lines, including into Ohio, is a federal offense. This is serious. Even though you're only 30 minutes from home, you cannot legally bring that purchase back across the border. If you're caught with cannabis while traveling back to Ohio, you face federal charges, not just state penalties.
Many people make this drive specifically because Ohio's reciprocal purchasing rules allow out-of-state residents to buy cannabis in Michigan. Use that purchase responsibly and legally.
Drive Time & What Affects It
Under normal conditions, Toledo to Adrian takes 30 minutes. In bad weather - ice, snow, heavy rain - expect 40-50 minutes. During winter, US-223 can get icy, especially as you head into Michigan where road treatments might differ from Ohio standards. Don't rush. The dispensary is open late (until 9 PM most nights), so there's no reason to speed.
If you're traveling during rush hour from Detroit direction, you might hit some slower traffic on US-23 before connecting to US-223, but once you're on US-223, it's clear most of the time.
What to Do in Adrian While You're There
Since you're making the drive, consider spending a bit of time in Adrian. It's a historic Michigan town with some character. Downtown Adrian has a few decent restaurants and cafes. If you grab something to eat before or after your dispensary visit, you'll make the trip feel less like just an errand.
Adrian is also close to the Irish Hills area, which has some scenic spots if you want to stretch your legs before driving back. The town itself is small but walkable - you can get a sense of the local community pretty quickly.

Supplies You'll Need

If you're buying flower or other products you want to keep fresh, consider bringing a small cooler. It's a 30-minute drive home, and keeping cannabis at a stable temperature helps maintain quality.
