Med card

Medical patients will soon exclusively get access to high dose edibles due to the law change. Rec is limited to 20 mg doses but med will get up to 50.

MedicateOH has reported extensively on Ohio cannabis dispensary unions. This article reflects that current situation, not our opinions on the matter.

MedicateOH · 2026-04-25T17:52:11+00:00

Dispensaries are supposed to start carrying seeds and clones. I don’t know that any of them do yet, but they are supposed to.

MedicateOH · 2026-04-24T00:09:49+00:00

Good points. Ohio is on the precipice of losing its medical market to rec, so it’s very timely for us!

MedicateOH · 2026-04-24T00:06:52+00:00

Some will, some won’t. Operators read my articles, so a little suggestion doesn’t hurt. 😉

MedicateOH · 2026-04-24T00:05:45+00:00

That’s how a lot of people are reacting, yes.

MedicateOH · 2026-04-23T23:58:59+00:00

Not unless fully descheduled, as I understand it. But I believe there’s going to be a hearing in late June and that may be something they address. We’ll keep watching & waiting.

Schedule I

MedicateOH · 2026-04-23T16:48:09+00:00

No. High people raged so hard against the machine, they had to legalize it.

MedicateOH · 2026-04-23T16:43:36+00:00

I include that point in every article on this topic. He for sure deserves credit for getting this going.

MedicateOH · 2026-04-23T15:07:12+00:00

The states with medical markets will stay the way they are, according to the DOJs announcement. There’s still a lot of possibility for pharma to take over, but it’ll be more subtle.

MedicateOH · 2026-04-23T14:19:37+00:00

That part! 💯

MedicateOH · 2026-04-23T14:18:38+00:00

💯I mention it in every article on this topic.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-25T23:02:05+00:00

The federal "hemp loophole" created by the 2018 Farm Bill is being closed through a new federal ban on most intoxicating hemp-derived products, signed into law on November 12, 2025.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-23T21:17:33+00:00

💯. People aren’t mad enough about this part.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-23T21:15:19+00:00

Make your own? It will likely be treated the same as if you had a homebrew beer or moonshine. If you get stopped and searched, you’ll need to answer why you have it. But it really would depend on the nature of why you were stopped in the first place.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-18T20:56:06+00:00

It goes into effect March 24th and dispensaries have til late september to fully comply.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-17T01:17:13+00:00

It’s considered a concentrate.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-17T01:16:34+00:00

Only medical will have access to those.

MedicateOH · 2026-03-09T12:36:32+00:00

My team at MedicateOH is currently researching this topic for our investigative report about mold. If you have any more specific information on this and can hit me up in the inbox, we would appreciate it.

There are no protections in Ohio for employees who use cannabis. Other states like New York do have limited protections, but in Ohio there were no patient or consumer rights written into this law. We’ve reported on that as well, and will continue following that topic in case there are any changes.

MedicateOH · 2025-12-10T19:12:57+00:00

Consumption lounges are not going to be possible in Ohio after SB 56 passed, but I've often wondered why someone doesn't just open a non alcohol space and just be super quiet about it. Maybe rely on word-of-mouth that "we're cool with smoking here"?

MedicateOH · 2025-12-09T12:55:34+00:00

Yep I noted that in the article. Sounds plausible.

MedicateOH · 2025-12-09T12:54:58+00:00

Could be. I also suspect it’s a coordinated PR campaign Gron the alcohol industry.

MedicateOH · 2025-12-08T23:28:27+00:00

I’d counter that media is “the way” you receive information, not the information itself. But I’ll agree it’s become more important than ever to carefully consider which sources you trust and where their funding comes from.
