The Ohio legislature adopted House Bill 523 in July 2016 allowing doctors to recommend/prescribe marijiuanas to patients that have medical conditions that qualify. The OMMC regulates the medical conditions that qualify and other rules. New provisions are added consistently and perhaps one day soon adult use / recreational marijuana will be available. That said, marijuana is still not legal federally, so you can only be in possession of cannabis (as a consumer) if you are a patient with a marijuana card or are a registered caregiver.
