Recreational marijuana sales in Ohio have officially surpassed half a billion dollars, according to the latest figures released by the state’s Division of Cannabis Control (DCC).
As of May 10, the state recorded over $509 million in adult-use marijuana sales. This milestone comes just nine months after recreational sales began, marking a major moment for Ohio’s expanding cannabis industry. The DCC data also shows that these sales were driven by more than 7 million receipts, with over 76,000 pounds of marijuana flower and more than 8.5 million units of manufactured products sold for adult use.
When combined with Ohio’s longstanding medical marijuana program, total cannabis sales in the state is now $2,665,979,601. Of that total, around $2.15 billion comes from medical marijuana, with nearly 30 million manufactured products sold and more than 317,000 pounds of plant material distributed to registered patients.
The data highlights the fast-growing footprint of Ohio’s recreational market. As of the DCC’s latest update, 144 dispensaries have been granted dual-use certificates, allowing them to serve both medical patients and adult-use customers. Additional provisional licenses have also been issued, indicating more retail locations are on the horizon.
The average price of recreational marijuana flower in early May was $6.76 per gram or $19.12 per one-tenth ounce, with manufactured products averaging $28.31.
