Description
Ohio legalized medical marijuana through House Bill 253 in 2016. Ohio's Medical Marijuana Program allows for multiple types of cannabis products including tinctures, oils, patches, plant material, oils and edibles, although the laws prohibit flower intended for the use of smoking. Vaping is allowed. Patients, with qualifying conditions, can purchase and possess up to a 90 day supply of marijuana. The Medical Marijuana Control Program (MMCP) will oversee licensing of facilities including:
- Cultivation
- Processor
- Dispensaries
- Testing
To begin, the state will approve limited licenses including:
- Cultivation: 12 Level I and 12 Level II
- Processor: 40
- Dispensaries: 60
The state has chosen METRC as a track and trace software, requiring all licensees to submit company data seed to sale.
