Medical marijuana has been legal since 2016, and we’ve got a bustling industry ready to serve you with top-notch strains and products once recreational use becomes legal.
In the meantime, if you’re a registered medical marijuana patient, you can enjoy the benefits of cannabis for conditions such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, PTSD, epilepsy, and many others. To become a patient, you’ll need a recommendation from an Ohio-licensed physician and a state identification card. Once you have those, you’re good to go!
Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of buying recreational cannabis in Ohio once it becomes legal. First and foremost, you must be 21 years or older with a valid government-issued ID. You can purchase up to a 90-day supply, with a maximum possession limit of one ounce (or five grams of concentrate).
Ohio has a robust network of licensed dispensaries across the state, with more popping up all the time. Each dispensary is required by law to have a secure, temperature-controlled facility with video surveillance and security measures in place. You can expect a welcoming, professional environment when you visit these establishments.
When it comes to choosing your cannabis, Ohio has an impressive selection of strains, edibles, topicals, and concentrates. Whether you’re looking for something energizing, relaxing, or somewhere in between, there’s sure to be a product that suits your needs. Budtenders are knowledgeable and eager to help, so don’t hesitate to ask questions!
Prices can vary depending on the quality of the cannabis and the type of product, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $30 to $60 for an eighth (3.5 grams) of flower. Edibles range from $10 to $25 per piece, while concentrates can cost between $40 and $80 per gram.
Remember, safety is key when it comes to cannabis consumption. Always start with a low dose and wait at least two hours before consuming more. It’s also essential to store your cannabis properly, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
