COLUMBUS, Ohio (AVC News) — Ohio’s recreational marijuana market is now subject to new limits on the amount and potency of several cannabis products.
The changes, which took effect Monday as a part of Senate Bill 56, establish limits for flower, vape products, edibles, beverages and other cannabis products sold through Ohio’s adult-use market.
Cannabis flower is now limited to no more than one ounce, or 28.3 grams, per package. Flower has been the most popular recreational cannabis product in Ohio.
Vape products are limited to three cartridges or devices per purchase. Each cartridge or device cannot contain more than two grams and cannot exceed 90% THC. The serving size for inhaled cannabis is now defined as one inhalation lasting two seconds.
Edibles, including gummies and chocolates, and cannabis-infused beverages cannot contain more than 10 milligrams per portion.
State data showed Ohioans spent more than $3.8 million on recreational cannabis edibles during the week of Sept. 19. During the same week, consumers spent more than $7.7 million on cannabis vapes and more than $11.6 million on flower.
Additional limits apply to less common products. Individual patches, capsules and pills cannot contain more than 50 milligrams. Oral pouches and strips are limited to 10 milligrams, while oral drops and sprays cannot exceed 30 milliliters per package. Cannabis-infused cosmetic products are limited to three ounces.
Sales of cannabis plants, clones and seeds are also limited to six per package. Ohio law currently limits home cultivation to six plants per household.
Medical marijuana products are subject to different limits. Medical-use edibles and beverages are capped at 55 milligrams per serving under the new rules, whereas there previously was no serving-size limit.
The latest restrictions were enacted by the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control rather than through new legislation. The DCC has authority under state law to establish regulations for Ohio’s marijuana industry through the Ohio Administrative Code.
The changes follow broader revisions to Ohio’s recreational marijuana laws that took effect in March.
