Speak with an Ohio-licensed physician by video without leaving home. If your condition qualifies, you'll register with the state at no charge and skip the adult-use excise tax.
A simple picture of each stage so nothing catches you off guard.
Ohio adds a 10% excise tax to adult-use sales. Registered patients don't pay it.
Illustration only. Patients aged 18–20 can purchase legally only through the medical program.
Here's a selection of the qualifying conditions recognized by the State Medical Board. Your physician confirms whether your situation fits.
Anxiety, depression, and insomnia don't count on their own, but they're worth raising if they come with a listed diagnosis. Petitions for new conditions are accepted each year from November 1 to December 31.
No. Ohio did away with its patient registration fee in 2024. The only cost is your physician's evaluation, shown before you book.
Yes. Ohio's telemedicine rules allow a certified physician to evaluate you over secure video from start to finish.
Yes. You'll confirm residency with an Ohio driver's license or state ID when you create your registry profile.
Only MDs and DOs with an active Certificate to Recommend from the State Medical Board of Ohio.
Every twelve months, with a new recommendation from a certified physician before your registration lapses.
A registered caregiver can. Patients under 18 need a parent or guardian in that role. Full rules are posted by the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control.
Head west on Madison Avenue from West Boulevard and you'll reach RISE just past the Lakewood line. It serves registered Ohio medical patients.
The boulevard was designed as a grand approach to Edgewater Park on Lake Erie — still a great spot for a gentle lakefront walk.
West Boulevard was laid out as a wide, tree-lined parkway meant to link Edgewater Park with Brookside Park, and most of its homes went up between 1910 and 1920. Deep setbacks, generous porches, and mature trees earned part of the corridor a place in the Clifton & West Boulevard Historic District. Residents follow the same statewide medical cannabis process as everyone in Ohio.
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3796 permits recommendations only from MDs and DOs with an active Certificate to Recommend. Patients register through the Division of Cannabis Control with Ohio-issued ID, and the state charges no registration fee.
With adult-use sales open to anyone 21+, the medical registry remains the only legal path for 18- to 20-year-olds and keeps the 10% excise tax off patient purchases. Current rules are at the Division of Cannabis Control.
