Ohio’s legal marijuana market generated nearly $1 billion in revenue between the launch of recreational sales in August 2024 and July 26, according to data sent today by the Division of Cannabis Control.
From the launch of recreational sales on August 7, 2024, through July 26, 2025, Ohio dispensaries brought in a combined $974 million in cannabis sales. Of that, approximately $685.7 million came from recreational purchases, while medical marijuana accounted for $288.4 million in sales.
The nearly $1 billion in combined revenue was driven by more than 12.6 million transactions statewide. Recreational sales made up the majority, with 9,537,955 transactions, while 3,091,462 were from medical marijuana patients.
During this same period, Ohio consumers purchased 432,962 pounds of marijuana flower, including over 106,000 pounds in the adult-use market. The state also tracked sales of over 41.8 million units of manufactured marijuana products such as edibles, vapes, and tinctures.
As of late July, 159 dispensaries had received dual-use licenses, allowing them to serve both medical patients and recreational consumers. Average prices remain competitive, with non-medical flower selling at about $6.70 per gram.
Ohio officially joined the ranks of adult-use states in August 2024 following the passage of a voter-approved legalization initiative in November 2023. Under the law, the state places a 10% excise tax on recreational marijuana sales, along with the standard 5.75% state sales tax and additional local sales taxes where applicable. Medical marijuana is exempt from the excise tax but remains subject to state and local sales taxes. Based on these rates, the state has garnered around $125 million in tax revenue between August 2024 and July 2025.
