Ohio medical and adult-use marijuana sales have officially surpassed $3 billion, new data from the state Department of Commerce (DOC) shows.<\/p>\n
In an update published on Tuesday, DOC\u2019s Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) reported $3,036,756,851 in cannabis purchases as of September 13. That includes about $2.2 billion worth of medical marijuana, which was legalized in 2019, and $802 million in recreational sales, which launched in August of last year.<\/p>\n
According to DCC, 458,292 pounds of plant material and nearly 44.4 million manufactured product units have been sold since the medical market launched, across almost 40 million receipts.<\/p>\n
There are currently 165 licensed retailers that can serve adults and patients. And the state shows there are 459,408 registered medical cannabis patients and 41,995 caregivers.<\/p>\n
DCC also said<\/a> that the average price per gram of marijuana is currently $6.55.<\/p>\n The state sold about $703 million in recreational cannabis in the law\u2019s first year of implementation<\/a>, according to DCC data.<\/p>\n Voters approved a ballot initiative to legalize adult-use marijuana in November 2023, and lawmakers have since taken a series of steps aimed at revising the law. However, that\u2019s been met with pushback and the legislature has so far been unable to reach consensus to meaningfully alter the law<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last-minute disagreements between the House and Senate Republicans<\/a> seemed to have derailed that plan.<\/p>\n After taking public testimony and adopting certain changes to Senate-passed cannabis legislation, SB 56, the House Judiciary Committee ultimately declined to advance the proposal as scheduled at a June hearing, making it so the measure couldn\u2019t advance to a floor vote.<\/p>\n Changes approved at a hearing late in May rolled back some of the strict limits included in a version of the measure passed by the Senate in February<\/a>, including a criminal prohibition on sharing marijuana between adults on private property.<\/p>\n In March, a survey of 38 municipalities by the Ohio State University\u2019s (OSU) Moritz College of Law found that\u00a0local leaders were \u201cunequivocally opposed\u201d to earlier proposals that would have stripped the planned funding<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2014 Meanwhile in Ohio,\u00a0adults as of June are able to buy more than double the amount of marijuana<\/a>\u00a0than they were under previous limits, with state officials determining that the market can sustainably supply both medical cannabis patients and adult consumers.<\/p>\n Gov. Mike DeWine (R) in March separately announced his desire to reallocate marijuana tax revenue to support police training, local jails and behavioral health services<\/a>. He said funding police training was a top priority, even if that wasn\u2019t included in what voters passed in 2023.<\/p>\n Ohio\u2019s Senate president has also pushed back against criticism of the Senate bill,\u00a0claiming the legislation does not disrespect the will of the electorate<\/a>\u00a0and would have little impact on products available in stores.<\/p>\n Separately, lawmakers are\u00a0considering legislation to restrict intoxicating hemp products<\/a>.<\/p>\n DeWine has repeatedly asked\u00a0lawmakers to regulate or ban intoxicating hemp products such as delta-8 THC<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Ohio Marijuana Sales Top $3 Billion, New State Data Shows<\/a> appeared first on Marijuana Moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n
