Ohio medical marijuana cards, wherever you live in Ohio

1. Check if you qualify and book a time with one of our physicians.
2. Join your video visit from home. Your physician reviews your history and records and checks Ohio’s prescription monitoring report.
3. If you qualify, your physician submits your recommendation to the state registry right after your visit, and you activate it by email.

Then you can buy at any licensed Ohio dispensary with your registry card and a photo ID. Full step-by-step guide.

Figures from the Division of Cannabis Control’s program update.

• Dispensaries. Ohio law lets a city, village or township prohibit or limit the number of cannabis dispensaries, cultivators and processors within its borders (Revised Code 3796.29).
• Where dispensaries can be. State law keeps new sites at least 500 feet from the property line of a school, church, public library, public playground or public park (Revised Code 3796.30).
• What stays the same everywhere. Your right to register as a patient, the 21 qualifying conditions, the price of your visit, and the ban on driving while impaired.

To find a licensed dispensary, use the Division of Cannabis Control’s official dispensary map or license list. We don’t recommend, rank or partner with any dispensary.
