Is an Ohio Medical Marijuana Card Still Worth It?

Yes, for many patients. Ohio has adult-use cannabis sales, but a medical marijuana card can still be useful for patients who want medical-patient registry status, caregiver options, physician certification, and potential tax savings on medical purchases.

Medical purchases are not charged the 10% adult-use cannabis excise tax. Regular state and local sales taxes may still apply.
