Ohioans could buy limited amount of medical marijuana every 90 days, under draft

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio patients would be able to buy 6 ounces of medical marijuana for vaporization during a 90-day period under draft rules released Thursday, a smaller amount than what's allowed in most other legal states.

The proposed rules released Thursday detail how patients could legally consume marijuana through Ohio's new medical marijuana program and how the state will license and regulate testing labs.

State law limits patients to a 90-day supply but doesn't define how much that is.

The State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy has proposed different amounts depending on the form:

  • Patients would be limited to 4 ounces of plant material with higher THC levels -- above 23 percent -- in a 90-day supply. State officials said Ohio would be the first state to limit legal supply by the level of THC, a compound in marijuana that generates a high.

  • Patients would be limited to buying the equivalent of 40.5 grams of THC in vaping oils, 19.8 grams of THC in transdermal patches and 9 grams of THC in edibles, oils and tinctures taken orally.
