Ohio’s marijuana market has generated more than $3.16 billion in total sales, according to new data released by the Division of Cannabis Control.
As of October 27, licensed retailers have sold 479,688 pounds of marijuana flower and 46.8 million manufactured products. That includes $905.9 million in non-medical sales and $2.25 billion in medical marijuana sales, for a combined $3.16 billion since the launch of the program. The state has recorded more than 32.7 million total transactions.
During the week of October 19 to October 25, the average price was $18.08 for a tenth of an ounce of marijuana flower, $6.39 per gram, and $25.90 for manufactured products like edibles and concentrates.
Ohio’s medical marijuana program continues to see strong participation. There are 462,197 registered patients, including over 26,000 veterans, nearly 27,000 indigent patients, and more than 1,500 patients with a terminal diagnosis. In total, 442,061 unique patients have purchased marijuana, and 93,203 currently hold both an active registration and recommendation. There are also 42,143 registered caregivers.
The state has approved 178 dual-use dispensaries, 37 cultivators, 46 processors and eight testing laboratories. That includes 23 Level I and 14 Level II cultivators, all licensed as dual-use facilities.
Ohio’s medical marijuana law was signed by then-Governor John Kasich in June 2016, with the first dispensary sales beginning in January 2019. Since then, the program has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of patients across the state.
Voters approved the state’s adult-use marijuana law in November 2023, making Ohio the 24th state to legalize recreational use. The first legal adult-use sales began in August 2024, less than a year after the initiative passed.
