Summary of Ohio Medical Marijuana Laws
Legal Protection
The fact you have a valid recommendation for medical marijuana from a certified physician could provide you with an affirmative defense in certain legal situations. It is worth noting that an affirmative defense does not prevent a criminal charge; it is only used as a possible means to avoid conviction.
Where do I get medical marijuana?
Medical Marijuana must be purchased from an Ohio dispensary, licensed by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. It is illegal for patients to obtain marijuana from other sources or to grow, sell or share Medical Marijuana with others.
How do I transport medical marijuana?
Marijuana products purchased from the dispensary will come in a sealed container with your patient and product information printed and placed on the product. You will also be given a receipt showing what you purchased. If you are in need of traveling with medical marijuana after the sealed container has been opened. Keep all labels on the container with receipt of purchase. You may also consider putting your product in your trunk, locked glove box, or a secure lockbox.
Can I drive after using medical marijuana?
Don’t do it. If suspected of doing so by law enforcement, you can be charged for driving under the influence. If they observe you making a traffic infraction, then deem your interactions and field-sobriety test performance insufficient, you may be charged.
Am I allowed to smoke medical marijuana?
In Ohio, the smoking of medical marijuana is prohibited. If you wish to use medical marijuana flower, you are expected to use a device for vaporization.
Am I allowed to have marijuana paraphernalia (pipes, bongs, etc.)?
Possession of drug paraphernalia is a misdemeanor in Ohio. However, medical marijuana patients do have protection using approved medical marijuana devices, such as vape pens.
Can my employer still drug test me for marijuana, even though I’m a registered patient?
Unfortunately, registered patients are not exempt from employer drug tests. The law does not provide protection from employer drug-testing. Even if you are a medical marijuana patient, if your employer has a drug testing policy, we recommend checking with them prior to using medical marijuana products.
Can I possess a firearm if I’m a medical marijuana patient?
Under federal law, marijuana users are not allowed to buy, sell, or possess firearms or ammunition or obtain CCW certification. A federal circuit court of appeals in Nevada has ruled that restrictions on firearm sales for individuals using medical marijuana does not violate the Second Amendment.
Can I take medical marijuana while on probation?
Whether you can use medical marijuana during your probation depends on your situation, the legal officials who work with you, your charges, and the jurisdiction where you were charged. Patients should always check with their legal counsel, probation officer, and/or social worker prior to using medical marijuana.
Can I travel outside Ohio with my medical marijuana?
No. Marijuana is still considered a Schedule 1 drug under federal law, so do not transport a federally restricted substance across state lines, whether by plane, train, bicycle, or automobile.
