Apply For Your Ohio Medical Marijuana Card Online

Ohio law recognizes 22 qualifying conditions, one of the broader lists in the country. Approved conditions include cancer, chronic pain, PTSD, epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, hepatitis C, IBD, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, sickle cell anemia, Tourette syndrome, and traumatic brain injury.

A licensed Ohio physician evaluates your medical history and current condition to determine whether you qualify.

You book a telehealth appointment with a Veriheal-affiliated Ohio physician, meet with them for a 10 to 15 minute video call, and if approved, the physician submits your certification directly to the state patient registry.

The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program then emails you a link to complete your patient registration. You pay the $0.01 state fee, upload your ID, and can print your card within 72 hours of state processing. The full process typically takes 2 to 3 weeks.

Along with a qualifying condition, a patient must prove Ohio residency with a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID. The state charges $0.01 for annual registration, which is separate from your Veriheal recommendation fee.

A caregiver must be at least 21 years old, an Ohio resident, and pass a criminal background check. Caregivers register with the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program and may serve up to two patients at a time.

Ohio uses tiered medical possession limits: Tier I patients may possess up to 8 ounces of THC that tests at 23% or less, and Tier II patients may possess up to 5.3 ounces of THC that tests above 23% and up to 35%. Recreational adults 21 and older are limited to 2.5 ounces of flower or 15 grams of extract.

Adults 21 and older may grow up to 6 plants per person, with a maximum of 12 plants per household. Medical patients receive the same home cultivation rights as recreational users.

To renew your Ohio card through Veriheal, schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians who can confirm you still need medical cannabis for your qualifying condition. We remind you when renewal is near, and our Customer Service Department can apply a renewal discount.

An Ohio medical marijuana card is valid for one year. Both physician recertification and state registry renewal happen annually.
