Understanding the Cannabis Laws in Ohio
Ohio citizens voted on Issue 2 to legalize adult-use (recreational) cannabis in Ohio, which included cultivation at home.
As of The Time of Writing:
- Recreational home grow of Cannabis is legal for up to 6 plants per person (age 21+), up to a total of 12 per household, but that limit is expected to half soon with the passage of upcoming legislation.
So where does that leave you as a home grower? The sky is still the limit.
Hemp vs Cannabis: A Legal Distinction
Under U.S. federal law, cannabis with less than 0.3% THC is classified as hemp. This means that our clones are hemp, an agricultural commodity, and can be bought and sold as such.
These clones:
- Are federally legal to ship and sell
- Can be grown at home in Ohio (and some other states)
- Are the responsibility of the home grower once purchased
Home Growers: What You Can Safely Do in Ohio
If you’re growing cannabis for personal use in Ohio, it’s important to know the rules.
Tips for staying compliant:
- Keep all plants away from public view
- Keep all plants out of reach of children and/or animals (whether indoors or outdoors)
- The sale of flowering marijuana clones is not currently legal in Ohio. Clones must be purchased before they flower. Ensure you purchase from a vendor with a valid COA (Certificate of Analysis)
Growing compliant cannabis at home has gained traction as more growers are excited to save money while pursuing their passion.
