In a significant expansion of Ohio’s medical marijuana program, registered patients are now permitted to grow cannabis at home. As of September 15, 2024, qualifying individuals can cultivate up to six plants for personal use, marking a pivotal shift in the state’s approach to medical cannabis access.
The new policy, implemented by the Ohio Department of Commerce, aims to improve affordability and availability for patients. While home cultivation is now legal, strict regulations are in place to ensure compliance and safety. Patients must register their intent to grow, and the cannabis must be kept in a secure, enclosed area.
This change comes as part of broader reforms to Ohio’s medical marijuana landscape, including the addition of new qualifying conditions and increased possession limits. For more details on the new regulations, visit The Columbus Dispatch.
