   Once you have your written recommendation, you will need to gather some required documents before visiting a medical marijuana dispensary. These include:

   After you register with the dispensary, you will receive an email from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy directing you to their website. On the website, you will need to create a password that meets the following requirements: 8 characters long, at least one capital letter, one number, and one special character such as $ or @.

   Once you have created your password and logged in, you will need to activate your medical marijuana card by paying a fee of $50 to the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. This fee unlocks your card, and you will receive an email confirming that your card is activated. Once your card is activated, you can visit a medical marijuana dispensary and purchase legal marijuana for medical purposes.
