John Kasich in June 2016, created the state's Medical Marijuana Control Program to allow the use of medical marijuana for qualified patients with a physician's recommendation. HB523 made the Department of Commerce responsible for developing rules for licensing and regulating medical marijuana cultivators, processors, and testing laboratories. It placed the Board of Pharmacy in charge of licensing dispensaries and setting up a patient and caregiver registry. The Medical Board was tasked with maintaining a list of qualifying conditions and certifying recommending physicians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-purchase-weed-in-ohio\">\n\tWhere is it safe to purchase weed in Ohio?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Registered patients and caregivers can purchase&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalmarijuana.ohio.gov\/Documents\/90DaySupply\/Documents\/90-Day%20Supply%20Resolution%20and%20Guidance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a 45-day supply<\/a>&nbsp;of medical marijuana in one of the following forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edibles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flower<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lotions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oils<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tinctures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What constitutes a 45-day supply varies by form and is further complicated by the level of THC in the flower.
