An Ohio medical marijuana card is typically issued the same day an application has been approved for marijuana use in the state of Ohio. There is no limit to the variety of cannabis products that can be purchased in any dispensary in Ohio if you have a legal marijuana card. We’re talking about everything from flower to tinctures to edibles to vapes to topicals to concentrated THC oils!

How much does Medical Marijuana Cost in Ohio?

Medical marijuana prices in Ohio vary widely from dispensary to dispensary and form to form (processed products tend to be more expensive). Ohio’s certification process for medical marijuana can help explain why the cost of cannabis is so high.

The process cannabis must go through in order to be cultivated and approved is quite tedious. All medical marijuana products sold in Ohio must undergo a series of rigorous laboratory tests in addition to cultivation, processing, and wholesale distribution to dispensaries. This is to ensure potency, safety, and purity.

The method by which the 90-day supply could be purchased was altered slightly but significantly in April 2020. The 90-day supply is now divided into two 45-day supplies as a result of this change.

If you have a year-long recommendation for medical marijuana, you’ll have 360 day-units to choose from. On the day that you receive your recommendation, the process begins.

In the state of Ohio, medical marijuana quantities purchased are referred to as “Day Units”.

Any combination of medical marijuana products is acceptable, but remember that each form has its own unique day unit calculation for dosing.
