Get Your Ohio Medical Marijuana Card

An Ohio medical marijuana card can help eligible patients save money on cannabis purchases. Medical marijuana is subject to applicable sales tax, but it is exempt from Ohio's 10% adult-use marijuana excise tax. Adult-use cannabis is subject to both the 10% marijuana excise tax and applicable sales tax.

Using current prices from Leaf Relief - Reynoldsburg, here is an estimated cost comparison for a 28-gram equivalent, consisting of 8 individual 3.5-gram packages. The Weedmaps menu currently lists select 3.5g flower products at $44 per package.

Medical cannabis

Dispensary: Leaf Relief - Reynoldsburg
Menu type: Medical & non-medical

• • Product: $44 × 8 packages = $352
  • Ohio medical marijuana excise tax: $0
  • Reynoldsburg sales tax at 8.25%: $29.04
  • Total: $381.04

Adult-use cannabis

Dispensary: Leaf Relief - Reynoldsburg
Menu type: Medical & non-medical

• • Product: $44 × 8 packages = $352
  • 10% Ohio adult-use marijuana excise tax: $35.20
  • Reynoldsburg sales tax at 8.25%: $29.04
  • Total: $416.24

Based on these prices and current tax rates, an Ohio medical marijuana patient could save approximately $35.20 per 28-gram equivalent purchase compared with an adult-use purchase.

If you made 1 similar 28-gram equivalent purchase each month, the estimated savings would be approximately $422.40 per year.

The product price is the same in this example, so the estimated savings come from the 10% adult-use marijuana excise tax that does not apply to qualifying medical cannabis purchases. Ohio law specifically exempts medical marijuana from this adult-use excise tax.

Keep in mind that this estimate is based on 8 individual 3.5g packages at the listed $44 unit price. Dispensary prices, discounts, inventory, tax rates, and menu availability can change. Weedmaps also states that prices are set by the retailer and are not verified by Weedmaps. Check the current menu and price before purchasing.

A medical marijuana card can offer more than just cost savings. Here are some other benefits of having an Ohio medical marijuana card:

• • Larger purchase and possession limits
  • Access to medical cannabis for patients under 21
  • Designated caregivers
  • Legal protections for registered patients
