Ohio Raises Cannabis Purchasing Limit

Cannabis shoppers in Ohio can now purchase up to two and a half ounces of
cannabis flower from licensed dispensaries under a rule change announced
last week by the Division of Cannabis Control (DCC).

Previously, cannabis purchases were capped at a single ounce for flower to
prevent product shortages during the adult-use industry’s launch last year.

“Since non-medical cannabis sales began in August 2024, the market has
demonstrated the ability to support both medical marijuana patients and
non-medical consumers alike,” the agency wrote in a guidance published last
week.

The rule change took effect immediately on Wednesday, but while the
purchasing limits for cannabis flower products have increased, the
regulations on other cannabis products remain unchanged. Outside of
cannabis flower, Ohio state law sets a 15,000mb total THC cap on adult-use
cannabis purchases — dispensaries are expected to honor the limit by
tallying up the total THC content being bought by consumers, including
cannabis concentrates, edibles, beverages, and vaporizers.

Licensed cannabis dispensaries in Ohio conducted nearly $400 million in
adult-use sales during the first seven months of the legal market.

In March, lawmakers were accused of withholding more than $10 million in
adult-use cannabis tax revenue that was supposed to be earmarked for local
governments that had opted to allow cannabis businesses.

Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have more recently been pushing to scale
back the state’s voter-approved cannabis legalization law through at least
two different proposals: one to cap THC limits in cannabis concentrates and
impose other limits that were left out of the voter-approved bill, and one
to cut back on the number of home grow plants allowed under state law.
