The state will then process your application and you’ll be able to print your Ohio medical marijuana card within 72 hours. Once you have your card in hand, you can begin purchasing from dispensaries.

A patient who is at least 18 years old and has one or more of the qualifying conditions, must be able to prove they are an Ohio resident by providing a valid state driver’s license or identification card. The patient must also pay a $0.01 annual card registration fee. Any follow-up visits to renew your registration can be done through our online on-demand platform.

Getting an Ohio medical marijuana card with Veriheal costs a total of $199.01. Your $199 fee with Veriheal covers your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation, with financing options. The state requires only a $0.01 fee for annual registration.

Ohio’s caregiver laws are straightforward, beginning with the patient assistant being at least 21 years old and able to prove their Ohio residency with a valid driver’s license or state identification card. The caregiver, who must be listed on the patient certification, must also pay a $0.01 annual card registration fee. Ohio caregivers can only care for two patients at a time per law.

Registration of a patient or caregiver will be valid from the date of issue and will expire one year later, the last day of the month it was given. The patient’s registration expires after six months if the patient is diagnosed as terminally ill.

Unlike most states, Ohio has a tiered possession limit, allowing a certain amount of THC-infused cannabis products to a patient depending on the condition they have. A tier I medical cannabis cardholder can possess up to 8 ounces of THC that tests at 23% or less; and a tier II medical cannabis cardholder can have up to 5.3 ounces of THC that test above 23%, but not higher than 35%.

Certain types of products in Ohio are only allowed to have so much THC. While patches, lotions, creams, and additional topics can not exceed 26-55 grams of THC, cannabis oil, tincture, capsules, and all other edibles can not exceed 9.9 grams of THC. Up to 53.1 grams of THC is allowable specifically for oil that is to be vaporized.

Ohio residents may home cultivate up to 6 plants, with a limit of 12 plants per household for personal use.

To renew your Ohio medical marijuana card through Veriheal, you’ll need to schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians. They can confirm that you still need medical cannabis for your qualifying condition and help you with the renewal process. We will remind you when it’s almost time for your renewal appointment, or you can reach out to our Customer Service Department so we can assist you and apply a renewal discount for you.

Your Ohio medical marijuana card is valid for one year.

Dr. was very kind and caring. Staff was wonderful at communicating and very helpful and helping me get over a hurdle which was not filing with the state first but I was able to do that and they got me right in the next day and I had my card the following morning and just received it in the mail so it took about 4 to 5 days. They were fantastic five stars from me.
