A Leap Towards Patient Accessibility: The One Cent Fee Initiative
The Ohio Department of Commerce (DCC)'s initiative to lower the medical cannabis registration fee to one cent represents a profound commitment to improving healthcare access. This interim measure, paving the way for the eventual elimination of the fee, significantly eases the financial burden on patients and caregivers, showcasing Ohio's dedication to fostering an accessible medical cannabis community.
