Ohio 45-Day Medical Marijuana Supply Calculator

45-Day Marijuana Supply Calculator Guide

Inputs Required

1. Total 90-Day Supply Limits:
   
   • Dry Flower: 9 ounces (254.7 grams)
   • Topicals: 26.55 grams of THC
   • Edibles & Tinctures: 9.9 grams of THC
   • Vaporization Oils: 53.1 grams of THC
2. Current Purchases:
   
   • Amount of dry flower purchased in grams.
   • Amount of topicals purchased in grams of THC.
   • Amount of edibles/tinctures purchased in grams of THC.
   • Amount of vaporization oils purchased in grams of THC.
3. Days Remaining in Current Fill Period:
   
   • Calculate how many days are left until the end of the current 45-day period.

Calculation Steps

1. Determine the Allowed Amount for 45 Days:
   
   • Divide each total supply limit by 2 (since it covers two 45-day periods):
     
     • Dry Flower: 254.7 grams / 2 = 127.35 grams
     • Topicals: 26.55 grams / 2 = 13.275 grams
     • Edibles/Tinctures: 9.9 grams / 2 = 4.95 grams
     • Vaporization Oils: 53.1 grams / 2 = 26.55 grams
2. Calculate Remaining Supply for Each Product Type:
   
   • For each product type, subtract the amount already purchased from the allowed amount:
     
     • Remaining Dry Flower = 127.35 grams – (amount purchased)
     • Remaining Topicals = 13.275 grams – (amount purchased)
     • Remaining Edibles/Tinctures = 4.95 grams – (amount purchased)
     • Remaining Vaporization Oils = 26.55 grams – (amount purchased)
3. Daily Purchase Limit Check:
   
   • Ensure that you do not exceed the daily purchase limit of 2.83 grams for dry flower and equivalent limits for other product types based on their whole day units.

Example Calculation

Let’s say you have made the following purchases during your current fill period:

• Dry Flower: 30 grams
• Topicals: 5 grams
• Edibles/Tinctures: 1 gram
• Vaporization Oils: 10 grams

Using the calculations above:

• Remaining Dry Flower = 127.35 g – 30 g = 97.35 g
• Remaining Topicals = 13.275 g – 5 g = 8.275 g
• Remaining Edibles/Tinctures = 4.95 g – 1 g = 3.95 g
• Remaining Vaporization Oils = 26.55 g – 10 g = 16.55 g

This method allows you to manually calculate how much medical marijuana you can still purchase within your current fill period while adhering to Ohio’s regulations.

Understanding Ohio’s Medical Marijuana Supply System

To effectively manage medical marijuana supplies in Ohio, patients must understand the state’s unique system of supply limits and purchase periods. This system is structured around a 90-day supply, divided into two 45-day fill periods. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how this works.

Overview of Supply Limits

90-Day Supply

The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (MMCP) defines a 90-day supply for patients, which encompasses various forms of medical marijuana. The total limits are as follows:

• Dry Flower (plant material): Up to 9 ounces (254.7 grams)
• Topicals: Up to 26.55 grams of THC
• Edibles & Tinctures: Up to 9.9 grams of THC
• Vaporization Oils: Up to 53.1 grams of THC

These limits ensure that patients can access their medication without exceeding legal boundaries.

45-Day Fill Periods

Ohio’s system allows patients to purchase their medical marijuana in two segments, each lasting 45 days. During each fill period, patients can buy up to a total that corresponds to a full 45-day supply, regardless of when they visit the dispensary within that period.

Key Features:

• Patients can purchase their entire 45-day allotment at once if they haven’t made any purchases yet during the fill period.
• If a patient exhausts their 45-day supply before the period ends, they must wait until the next fill period begins to make additional purchases.
• There is no rollover; any unused supply from one fill period does not carry over to the next.

Daily Purchase Limits

The daily purchase limit is set at 2.83 grams of dry flower (equivalent to 1/10 ounce) per day. This limit is designed to ensure that patients have consistent access to their medication while adhering to the overall 90-day supply cap.

Whole Day Units

Ohio defines a minimum purchase quantity known as a Whole Day Unit, which varies by product type:

• Dry Flower: 2.83 grams
• Topicals: 295 mg of THC
• Edibles & Tinctures: 110 mg of THC
• Vaporization Oils: 590 mg of THC

Calculating Supply

To calculate how much marijuana a patient has left in their current fill period:

1. Determine the end date of the current fill period.
2. Subtract the current date from the end date to find out how many days remain.
3. Track purchases made during the period to ensure they do not exceed the allowed amount.

For example, if today is the 10th day of the fill period and a patient has purchased only half of their allowed amount, they can still buy up to the full limit for that period until it ends.

Understanding Ohio’s medical marijuana supply system is crucial for patients who rely on these medications. By adhering to the defined limits and utilizing the structured fill periods, patients can effectively manage their supplies while complying with state regulations. The MMCP provides resources such as calculators and guidelines to assist patients in tracking their purchases and remaining supplies effectively.
