A medical marijuana patient caregiver is an individual registered with the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to purchase, possess, and administer medical marijuana to a patient with an active medical marijuana card. A caregiver must go through a background check with the State of Ohio and the approval process can take 4-5 weeks. The Caregiver must activate their State License before the State will begin the background check. All minors approved for a medical marijuana card must have a caregiver and it must be the parent or court appointed guardian. There is a $25 fee associated with registering for your caregiver card that will be electronically paid to the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.​ You can have up to two caregivers. If you are a caregiver and also have your own medical marijuana card, you can not have a caregiver associated to your own account.

Your status as a medical marijuana patient is between you, your marijuana doctor, and your other prescribing physicians. Your employer will only know you have a card if you tell them.

A doctor’s recommendation is what you receive once you are approved for medical marijuana and are able to use it legally. It is what the doctor enters into the OARRS site notifying the state and dispensaries you are eligible for medical marijuana. A medical marijuana ID/card itself is an ID needed to purchase cannabis.

If you have an upcoming appointment within the next 90 days, your card will not be made until after the appointment. Plastic cards are not always printed the day they are activated, and they can take up to 5 business days to be printed. After we print it, please expect another 5-10 days for mail time depending on USPS. Your card needs to be registered and paid for with the state registry before you will receive your plastic card. Please make sure your card is paid for and activated with the state. The $20 for the plastic card is not the same as the state fee to the state registry.
