The Division of Cannabis Control has issued updated guidance establishing daily purchase limits for non-medical marijuana sales in Ohio, with the rules taking effect June 4.
Under the new rules, adults 21 and older will be limited to buying 2.5 ounces of vaporization-ready cannabis flower per day. In addition, consumers will be allowed to purchase up to 15,000 milligrams of total THC per day in non-plant products such as edibles, tinctures, and vape cartridges. For example, a 500 mg vape and a 100 mg pack of gummies would count as 600 mg toward the 15,000 mg cap.
These limits apply only to recreational consumers. Medical marijuana patients will continue to operate under the state’s 90-day supply system, and dispensaries are required to prioritize inventory access for those patients. The Division emphasized that while dispensaries are allowed to dispense up to the statutory maximum, they are not obligated to do so.
The announcement comes nearly a year after the start of adult-use sales in August 2024. According to the Division, the state’s marijuana market has shown it can meet the needs of both medical and non-medical consumers.
The Division also reminded dispensaries that they must maintain accurate inventory and ensure their point-of-sale systems correctly track THC content as recorded in the state’s Metrc system. Any changes in standard operating procedures tied to these limits must be formally submitted through the DCC’s eLicense portal.
Dispensaries found in violation of these rules may face enforcement action.
