On November 7, 2023, Ohio voters approved Issue 2 to legalize the possession and use of marijuana by individuals aged 21 and over, the sale of marijuana by state-licensed dispensaries to those individuals, and to create the Division of Cannabis Control within the Ohio Department of Commerce.
Non-medical cannabis is not available to purchase in licensed dispensaries. At this time, the general public is not permitted in dispensaries unless the individual is a registered patient or caregiver in the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program (MMCP). Sale of marijuana prior to non-medical licenses being issued may be subject to criminal penalties.
The statute laid out a process for non-medical cannabis licensure that includes licensing applications and a timeline requiring that initial applications be available by June 7, 2024 and provisional licenses be issued by September 7, 2024.
