Updated for 2026

What's new in Ohio cannabis law

Senate Bill 56 took effect March 20, 2026, and new medical purchase limits started March 24. Here's what changed for patients.12

  • Medical patients can now buy up to 2.5 oz of plant material and 15,000 mg THC per day, the same daily limit as adult-use buyers, and can buy up to four days' worth at once.2
  • The old whole-day-unit and 45-day fill-period system is gone.2
  • Marijuana bought outside Ohio's licensed system, including from out-of-state dispensaries, is now illegal to possess.1
  • Opened cannabis must be carried in the trunk or behind the last row of seats, and edibles must stay in their original packaging.1
  • The state must write rules for medical marijuana delivery, a benefit reserved for patients.1

Medical marijuana in Ohio

Information about the Ohio Medical Marijuana Program

House Bill 523, signed in 2016, made medical cannabis legal throughout Ohio. Today the Division of Cannabis Control runs the Patient & Caregiver Registry, and the State Medical Board certifies the physicians who can recommend it.3

Ohio voters approved Issue 2 in November 2023, so adults 21 and older can also buy cannabis. A medical card still matters: it's the only legal route for patients under 21, it removes the 10% adult-use excise tax, and it comes with a physician who knows your health history.

How to become a medical marijuana patient in Ohio

Book an online appointment with us and meet an Ohio physician who holds a Certificate to Recommend. You'll need a valid Ohio ID, such as a driver's license or state photo ID, which the physician uses to register you.

After your physician registers you, you'll get an email from the state registry. Log in, activate your card and pay the one-cent fee, then visit a state-licensed dispensary.

Why get a card

Benefits of getting an Ohio MMJ card

Adult use is legal, but registered patients still get meaningful advantages.

Skip the 10% excise tax

Medical purchases are exempt from the adult-use excise tax, and many dispensaries offer patient discounts.5

Buy four days at once

Patients can buy up to four days' worth of the daily limit in a single visit. Adult-use buyers can't.2

Access from age 18

Adult use starts at 21. Patients can qualify at 18, and minors can qualify with a registered caregiver.

A larger supply

Patients may possess up to a 90-day supply, far more than the 2.5 oz adult-use limit.2

Physician guidance

An annual visit with a certified physician who can guide product types and amounts for your condition.

Safe, tested medicine

Every product sold at a licensed dispensary is tracked seed-to-sale and tested by a licensed lab.1

Minors & caregivers

Registering a caregiver in Ohio

A registered caregiver can buy and possess medical marijuana on behalf of a qualifying patient. Caregivers are often parents, guardians, healthcare surrogates, or anyone with a medical power of attorney.

A caregiver must be added to the patient's registry profile by an Ohio physician before getting a caregiver card, which shows the caregiver's name alongside the patient's registry ID.

Can minors qualify?

Yes. With a parent or legal guardian acting as their caregiver, patients under 18 can qualify. The physician registers the minor patient and caregiver in the registry, and both need a valid ID.

The button unlocks within 30 days of your expiration date, or once your new recommendation is issued if your card has already expired. Your updated card appears instantly in your registry profile.7
