Becoming a Caregiver in Ohio
Ohio’s caregiver laws are straightforward, beginning with the patient assistant being at least 21 years old and able to prove their Ohio residency with a valid driver’s license or state identification card.
The caregiver, who must be listed on the patient certification, must also pay a $50 annual card registration fee. Ohio caregivers can only care for two patients at a time per law.

Possession & Cultivation Limits
Unlike most states, Ohio has a tiered possession limit. This allows a certain amount of THC-infused cannabis products to be accessed by a patient depending on the condition they have.
- A tier I medical cannabis cardholder can possess up to 8 ounces of cannabis with THC levels that do not exceed 23%
- A tier II medical cannabis cardholder can have up to 5.3 ounces of cannabis with THC levels that do not exceed 35%.
Certain types of products in Ohio have THC limits:
- Patches, lotions, creams, and additional topics can not exceed 26-55mg of THC
- cannabis oils, tinctures, capsules, and all other edibles can not exceed 9.9mg of THC.
- Up to 53.1mg of THC is allowable specifically for oil that is to be vaporized.
Registration of a patient or caregiver will be valid from the date of issue and will expire one year later, the last day of the month it was given. The patient’s registration expires after six months if the patient is diagnosed as terminally ill.
