Ohio Recreational Marijuana Sales Top $22 Million in First 11 Days

Ohio’s recreational marijuana market continues to surge, with sales reaching $22.5 million in the first 11 days of legalization, according to the state’s Division of Cannabis Control (DCC).

During this period, marijuana stores across Ohio sold thousands of pounds of marijuana flower and thousands of units of other cannabis products, including edibles and topicals. The average price per gram of marijuana flower was $9.40, with the average price per 1/10oz being $26.67, according to the DCC.

Currently, 120 dispensaries in Ohio are licensed to sell recreational marijuana. Stand-alone recreational marijuana stores are expected to open sometime in 2025.

Ohio’s recreational marijuana law, which took effect on December 7, allows individuals aged 21 and older to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and 15 grams of marijuana concentrates. The state’s Division of Cannabis Control, part of the Department of Commerce, oversees the licensing and regulation of the marijuana industry.

A detailed map listing all dispensaries that are currently selling medical marijuana can be found on the DCC’s website by clicking here.

Ohio is one of 24 states that have legalized marijuana, and one of 23 that allow licensed sales (Virginia is the only state that has legalized marijuana possession but not sales).
