Great Experience! Times for Doctor visit was convenient and had a wide range suitable to my schedule. Doctor visit was short and to the point. I opted for the extra fee to do the state's application and was impressed by how fast they were able to get my application submitted. Thanks for your service. 
First-time user. Much easier than the previous company used... Doing it all online and FaceTime is so much more convenient... Not to mention about half the price of the previous company. I highly recommend this company... if they could walk me through it, just about anyone can use this site.

Medical Marijuana Benefits in Cincinnati
Medical cardholders in Cincinnati avoid the 10% excise tax on every purchase, access new products before recreational customers, and shop during dedicated patient hours with reserved parking. Medical marijuana provides higher daily purchase limits than recreational options, plus you get legal protections under state law.
| Benefit | Explanation and Regulatory Detail | MMJ Card | No MMJ Card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower Taxes on Purchases | Ohio medical purchases are exempt from the 10% recreational excise tax established by Issue 2. Patients pay zero cannabis excise tax on products purchased across the Cincinnati area. | ✓ | 10% Excise Tax |
| Higher Purchase Limit | Medical patients receive a certified 90-day supply, which often exceeds recreational limits for the same period. Recreational users are capped at 2.5 ounces of plant material per 90 days. | ✓ | 2.5 oz Limit |
| Stronger Legal Protection | Registered patients have specific legal protection against certain possession charges under state law. Non-patients, such as those in the Over-the-Rhine district, may face standard penalties. | ✓ | ✗ |
| Younger Patient Access | Medical access begins at age 18, with the option for parental consent for minors needing treatment. Recreational sales are strictly limited to adults 21 and older, including near the Clifton area. | ✓ | 21+ Only |
| Priority Access and Product Types | Cincinnati dispensaries prioritize registered patients and maintain higher-potency inventory often unavailable recreationally. This is important in high-traffic areas like the Central Business District. | ✓ | ✗ |
| Home Grow Allowance | All adults in Ohio are legally permitted to grow up to six plants per person, with a household maximum of twelve. The medical card offers no extra allowance for home cultivation. | Same Limit | Same Limit |
| Employment Protection Under State Law | Ohio law does not require employers to excuse or accommodate medical use, even with a card. This lack of job protection is a major point for patients employed throughout the state. | ✗ | ✗ |

Do I need a doctor's referral to apply?
No. You do not need a referral from your primary care physician. You can book directly with Elevate Holistics, and our licensed PA physicians will evaluate you themselves.
Can I use my card in other states?
Pennsylvania does not currently offer reciprocity, meaning your PA card will not be accepted at dispensaries in other states. Some states do accept out-of-state cards, so check the laws of your destination before traveling with medical cannabis.
What if I have more than one qualifying condition?
That is fine. You only need one qualifying condition to be certified. However, mentioning all relevant conditions to the physician can be helpful for your overall treatment discussion.
Is my information private?
Yes. All Elevate Holistics telehealth appointments are 100% HIPAA-compliant. Your medical information is protected and is not shared beyond what is required for the state registration process.
What happens after my card expires?
Pennsylvania medical marijuana cards are valid for one year. When your card approaches expiration, you will need to renew your physician certification and update your state registration.
