State list dated 9 Oct 2026
Franklin County had 32 dispensaries licensed to sell both medical and adult-use cannabis, 25 of them in Columbus. Our dispensary locator lists them all from state data. We don’t rank, recommend or partner with any dispensary.
December 2018
Under the zoning rules Columbus City Council voted on in December 2018, dispensaries go in C-4 commercial districts and must be at least 500 feet from another dispensary. Owners of property within 250 feet are told by mail.
22 July 2019
Columbus City Council cut the city penalty for possessing under 100 grams to $10, said a minor misdemeanor arrest or conviction no longer counts as a criminal record, and funded a record-sealing program run by the Legal Aid Society of Columbus.
2025 revenue estimate
The City Auditor’s 2025 revenue estimate counted on about $8 million from Ohio’s 10% adult-use cannabis tax, paid through the state’s Host Community Cannabis Fund. Medical marijuana isn’t subject to that tax.
Since 20 March 2026
Ohio now lets you apply to the court that sentenced you to expunge an old minor misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction. For most Columbus cases that is Franklin County Municipal Court. The filing fee is $50 unless you can’t afford it, and the court holds a hearing within 45 to 90 days.
Find a licensed dispensary near you in our Ohio dispensary locator, or on the Division of Cannabis Control’s official map.
These are Ohio rules (Revised Code 3796.06, as amended from 20 March 2026). What a medical card means for work, driving and housing.
