Ohio’s Official Resource Medical Marijuana Control Program

​

In June of 2016, Ohio became the 25th state to legalize medical marijuana with House Bill 523.

​

Ohio residents have access to medical marijuana with the approval of a state-approved medical doctor.

​

Registered medical cannabis patients can consume cannabis-based products such as edibles, oils, tinctures, and patches; under state law, smoking cannabis remains illegal.

​

Patients are authorized to possess a 45-day supply from a licensed dispensary.

Ohio does have a medical cannabis system but does not yet allow for home cultivation.

 

OMNI Medical is working with legislators and advocates to help petition for patients' rights to cultivate.

The amount of medical marijuana possessed by a registered patient or caregiver must not exceed a 90-day supply.
