But before we dive in, remember: Responsible cannabis use is always the key!
???? Who Can Purchase Cannabis in Ohio?
First things first, let’s talk eligibility. In the great state of Ohio, only residents who are 21 years or older and have a valid government-issued ID can legally purchase cannabis products. That’s right; to join the ranks of proud Buckeye cannabis enthusiasts, you must be both 21 and an Ohioan!
???? What Documents Are Required for Cannabis Purchase in Ohio?
When visiting a licensed dispensary in Ohio, remember to bring your wallet (filled with cash, as most dispensaries do not accept credit or debit cards yet) and your valid government-issued ID. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver’s license or state ID issued by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Non-Ohio residents can also purchase cannabis in Ohio, but they will need to provide an out-of-state ID that corresponds with their current address.
???? How Much Can I Purchase at Once?
As a responsible adult in Ohio, you’re allowed to possess up to:
1. 9.375 grams (or roughly one ounce) of cannabis flower or its equivalent in edibles, tinctures, concentrates, and topicals.
2. Up to 6 immature marijuana plants at home if you have a valid medical marijuana card.
3. A maximum of six seedlings at home, but remember: only three can be mature and flowering at any given time.
???? Where Can I Buy Cannabis in Ohio?
Ohio’s cannabis dispensaries are spread across the state, with locations in major cities such as Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Dayton, among others. A quick Google search can help you find a licensed dispensary near you. Remember to always check their hours of operation and any restrictions that may apply due to the pandemic or other factors.
???? What Products Can I Buy in an Ohio Dispensary?
The cannabis products available for purchase at Ohio dispensaries are as diverse as the Buckeye State itself! Here’s a sampling of what you might find:
1. Flower: The classic way to consume cannabis, featuring different strains and potencies.
2. Edibles: Cannabis-infused products like cookies, gummies, and drinks.

???? What About Medical Marijuana?
If you have a qualifying medical condition, such as cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, or chronic pain, you may qualify for a medical marijuana card in Ohio. With a valid card, you can purchase higher potency products and grow up to six mature plants at home. To apply for a medical marijuana card, you’ll need documentation from an Ohio-licensed physician and to register with the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program.
