About Medical Marijuana in Ohio
Ohio legalized medical cannabis in June 2016 when HB 523 was signed by Governor Kasich. Dispensaries opened in 2019 and sales officially began in-state in January 2019.
The passage of medical marijuana laws follows a decades-long legalization battle. In 1975, Ohio decriminalized possession of up to 100 grams of cannabis. In 2015, voters failed to pass a measure which would have legalized adult use cannabis laws.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio lawmakers approved precautionary measures for consumers and dispensary staff. Allowances include placing phone orders and curbside pick-up at dispensaries. Telemedicine continues to be legal to allow physicians to certify patients in Ohio for medical marijuana over the phone or over video.
