Stop Paying the Extra Cannabis Tax in Ohio

Adult-use cannabis has an extra 10% cannabis tax. Medical patients skip that tax.

Ohio cannabis sales so far
$2.5+ Billion
Combined medical and adult-use cannabis sales in Ohio (and growing fast).
Extra tax on adult-use cannabis (10%)
Every adult-use purchase includes a 10% cannabis tax that medical patients don’t pay.
That adds up to tens of millions of dollars in extra tax — money many people could have kept by staying in the medical program.
Why Ohio Medical Still Beats Adult-Use
  • Skip the 10% adult-use cannabis tax every time you shop.
  • Higher purchase limits and better access to the products you rely on.
  • Many dispensaries offer extra discounts for medical patients.
💡 The Math: What You’re Really Paying

💵 $100 adult-use purchase
≈ $10 in extra 10% cannabis tax
👉 With a medical card, you keep that $10 in your pocket.

🛍️ $250 adult-use purchase
≈ $25 in extra cannabis tax
👉 Two or three trips like that can cost more than a yearly renewal.

📦 $1,000 in adult-use purchases over a year
≈ $100 in extra cannabis tax you wouldn’t pay as a medical patient.

A lot of people skip a medical renewal to "save money," then quietly tip the state an extra 10% every time they shop. One or two bigger trips can wipe out what you would have spent on your card.

Schedule below to get or renew your Ohio medical card and stop paying the extra 10% cannabis tax.

*Examples show savings from avoiding the 10% adult-use cannabis tax. Regular state/local sales taxes may still apply in some cases. Tax rates and rules can change; always confirm current Ohio regulations.
