Must Read Before You Buy Ohio Medical Marijuana...

Updated as of 5/31/2020

As you may know, from my other posts, I was finally able to obtain a medical marijuana (MM) card and visit a dispensary. What you don't know is all the limitations that were set by the state of Ohio regarding usage and forms. Check this out...
"I'll just buy "plant material" (Bud) and make my own edibles with it."
  • No, you cannot. It is illegal. Per Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3796:7-2-05 (B) patients and caregivers shall not engage in the cultivation of medical marijuana or the manufacture of medical marijuana extract, unless authorized pursuant to rule blah blah blah and so on. The important part is what I have made bold and underlined. What this is saying is that you are not legally allowed to make edibles. Because when you make edibles the first thing you do is "decarboxylize" the plant material. This converts the THCA and CBDA to THC and CBD. (Click the link for more information on decarboxylation) In essence, you are "manufacturing medical marijuana extract". Of course this applies to all available forms of MM.
I bet those are some damn good brownies!

"I can roll up a joint or use my bowl/pipe to smoke it."
  • No, you cannot. It is illegal. Per OAC 3796:8-2 (B) (1) (2) The smoking or combustion of MM is prohibited. Meaning, you can not burn the plant material and smoke it. The word "Combustion" is really important. 
Tom and Jerry will have to go back trying to kill each other.

"I can buy any device that is a "vape" to vaporize my MM."
  • Sorry. Again, this is a no. You have to be very careful which device you purchase. You have to avoid "vapes" that cause conduction. (Conduction is basically burning the plant material with coils or open flame) OAC 3796:8-2 (B)(1)(2) talks specifically about this. Beware! Just because it is called a "vape" doesn't mean it's a legal one. For instance...
  • This one is called Ooze Drought Dry Herb Vaporizer. This one is LEGAL to use.

  • This one is called Ooze Duplex. This one is ILLEGAL to use with plant material. However, you are legally allowed to use this one with vape oil and wax.

  • Here is the difference...
  • The one on the left heats (convection) up the plant material. Kinda like a crock pot. The one on the right heats (conduction) up the plant material too but it burns the plant material. That's a big no no! (Click this link here for more information regarding conduction vs convection vapes.) 
  • The easiest way to determine that you are buying the correct vape, simply look at the red arrow above. See how it looks like little coils and the one on the left is has no coil looking thingies (technical term) but a well with holes? That's how you determine it. 
  • I also look at if the temperature settings can be changed. Any where from 250℉ to 420℉. (Temp setting could go higher but I thought 420℉ was appropriate.)
  • Some websites will even have combustion or convection in the product description.
"Many different types of edibles are available right now for me to buy."
  • Update! Yes there are several types of edibles that you can buy now at the dispensaries. From caramels, chocolate, gummies, infused honey sticks, a breakfast bar and granola. Still a bit pricey but have come down a bit in the past few months. 
  • Example: Terrasanna Dispensary in Springfield, Ohio, 
    • Wana brand 10:1 (100mg CBD/10mg THC) Strawberry Gummies 10 pack is $45.00. 
    • Buckeye Relief brand 1:1 (100mg CBD/100mg THC) Chocolate 10 pack for $55

"I can have my MM on me/vape  it at the Social Security Office for my SSI."
  • No, you cannot. This is illegal. Per Ohio OAC 3796:7-2-05 (H) and (I) medical marijuana shall not be possessed or administered on federal property or in federal buildings. Medical marijuana shall not be possessed or administered at any public or private place where medical marijuana is prohibited. Watch out for those signs!
Few other things that you need to know:
  • Be sure not to drive your tractless trolley when under the influence. Seriously, it does specify the tractless trolley. OAC 3796:7-2-05 (J)
  • Keep your card with your MM at all times when out and about. 
  • Please keep your MM out of reach of children and pets. Including teenagers! Best thing to do is buy a lock box or small gun safe to keep it in. 
  • You can be fired from your job if you using MM. Since marijuana is still illegal federally, you are not protected.
Oh, that reminds me of one more thing:

"I have my Carry and Conceal Gun License and my MM Card."
I know, I know...

I was surprised to learn about these laws and of course I am quite disappointed on some of them. But laws are always changing. Besides, what you do in your own home is your business. 😉

Hugs!!

Also, I am in no way being compensated for the Ooze products that I have shown above or any of the links that I have posted. I used the Ooze Drought because my cousin, who also blogs, has the Ooze Drought. I wish I was compensated!😉
