In its first full year of regulated adult-use sales (2025), Ohio sold over $836 million in adult-use cannabis products, contributing to nearly $1.1 billion in total adult-use sales since August 2024, with prices decreasing across the state. Although voters approved legalization in 2023, new restrictions were signed into law criminalizing hemp THC and out-of-state cannabis possession, leading advocates to seek a citizen-led ballot initiative to overturn the new legislation.

Licensed cannabis dispensaries in Ohio sold more than $836 million of
adult-use cannabis products in 2025, the Ohio Capital Journal reports.

It was Ohio’s first full year with a regulated adult-use market. Cannabis
sales launched in the state in August 2024; total adult-use sales have
reached nearly $1.1 billion since then.

The average price of cannabis in Ohio decreased in 2025, from a
manufactured sales average of $26.66 in January last year to $23.83 last
week, according to data from the Division of Cannabis Control.
Additionally, the average price of a single gram of flower fell from $6.85
a year ago to $6.41 last week.

There are currently 190 dispensaries licensed for both medical and
adult-use sales.

Ohio launched its medical cannabis program in early 2019, and state
retailers have recorded nearly $2.3 billion in medical cannabis sales.

Voters approved the legalization of adult-use cannabis in November 2023.

Last month, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed into law new cannabis
restrictions, criminalizing the sale of hemp THC products and the
possession of out-of-state cannabis products. Advocates with the group
Ohioans for Cannabis Choice are seeking to overturn the new law with a
citizen-led ballot initiative, arguing that the legislation “forcefully
defies the will of the voters of Ohio.”
