Dispensaries in Ohio

Visiting a dispensary in Ohio

Ohio voters approved Issue 2 legalizing adult-use cannabis in November 2023, with recreational sales beginning July 2024. The Division of Cannabis Control regulates all licensed dispensaries under the Ohio Department of Commerce.

Ohio adults 21+ may purchase up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower at a licensed dispensary. Existing medical dispensaries were permitted to begin adult-use sales after completing required regulatory steps.
