You qualify for a medical marijuana card if you’re an Ohio resident 18 or older with a qualifying medical condition. A registered physician evaluates your condition and certifies you if medical cannabis is appropriate for your treatment.

• Residency: You must be a resident with proof like a state ID, driver’s license, or utility bill showing your current address.
• Age: You must be 18 years or older. Patients under 18 can qualify through a parent or legal guardian who registers as their caregiver.
• Qualifying Condition: You need a state-approved condition including chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, arthritis, or chronic migraines.
• Medical Evaluation: A state-licensed physician reviews your symptoms and medical history, then issues certification if cannabis will help your condition.

You don’t need medical records to get approved for your medical marijuana card. Our doctors certify you based on your current symptoms and the condition you explain during your consultation. A conversation about what you’re experiencing is all our physicians need to evaluate and approve you. Records can help if you have them accessible, but they won’t stop you from getting certified today.

Here are all the medical marijuana options available at Dayton dispensaries so you can choose what works best for your condition.

• Oils – These come in vape cartridges for quick relief or oral formulas you swallow, just check the label for usage instructions.
• Capsules – Take these like any medication for consistent dosing without measuring or guessing.
• Edibles – Gummies, chocolates, and baked treats that provide longer-lasting relief than inhaled products.
• Topicals – Creams, lotions, and balms you apply directly to painful areas without any psychoactive effects.
• Tinctures – Liquid drops you place under your tongue for faster relief than edibles provide.
• Liquids – Cannabis-infused beverages and syrups you drink or mix into other liquids.
• Dry flower – Traditional cannabis you smoke or vaporize, including strains like Strawberry Banana that many patients prefer.
• Concentrates – High-potency extracts for patients who need stronger doses to manage their symptoms.

Your medical marijuana card remains private and won’t appear on typical employment or criminal background checks since the state patient registry is confidential and protected by state law. HIPAA covers your certification and medical records just like all your other health information, preventing employers and landlords from accessing this data. Federal positions or firearm licensing applications are exceptions where cannabis use might come into question because federal regulations still differ from state medical marijuana laws.

Yes, you can grow marijuana at home in Dayton as long as you’re 21 or older and follow Division of Cannabis Control regulations. Here’s what you need to know about the cultivation rules.

• Eligibility: You need to be 21 years or older. Your medical card doesn’t give you different cultivation limits than recreational users.
• License: You don’t need any special license to grow at home.
• Plant limits: You can grow up to 6 plants personally, but your household can’t exceed 12 plants total regardless of how many adults live there.
• Location: Grow your plants inside your primary residence in a locked closet, room, or greenhouse that keeps out anyone under 21. Make sure plants aren’t visible from public areas.
• Caregivers: If you’re a registered caregiver, you follow the same 6-plant per person and 12-plant per residence limits.
• Personal use only: Your homegrown cannabis is for you or for giving up to 6 plants to another adult 21 or older without payment. You can’t sell it.
• Excess storage: Keep any cannabis over the legal possession limit (2.5 ounces flower or 15 grams extract) stored at your private residence.

Medical marijuana cards only provide legal protection within state borders, and federal law prohibits transporting cannabis across state lines regardless of destination. Some states have reciprocity laws that accept out-of-state medical cards, but Ohio doesn’t participate in these programs. Leave your products at home when traveling because crossing state lines with marijuana remains a federal offense.
