Ohio Medical Marijuana
House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical marijuana in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program allows patients with certain medical conditions to obtain an Ohio Medical marijuana card and shop at an approved licensed medical marijuana dispensary in Ohio.
Do I Qualify for a Medical Marijuana Card in Ohio?
To qualify for Ohio’s medical marijuana program, you must have a qualifying medical condition and receive a recommendation from a physician who is authorized to recommend medical marijuana in Ohio.
Having a qualifying condition does not automatically guarantee approval. The physician must review your medical history, establish the required physician-patient relationship, and determine whether medical marijuana is appropriate for your condition.

A condition caused by HIV that severely weakens the immune system.
