Ohio Sold $700M In Adult-Use Cannabis During First Year of Sales

Ohio cannabis retailers have sold over $702 million worth of adult-use products since the industry launched one year ago. Licensed cannabis retailers in Ohio have sold over $702 million in adult-use cannabis products since the adult-use market launched one year ago, according to data released this month by the Division of Cannabis Control (DCC).

Regulators said that at the one-year mark, consumers have purchased over 109,000 pounds of cannabis flower since the launch of legal sales.

Currently, 159 Ohio dispensaries hold dual-use certificates of operation, which allow the retailers to sell adult-use cannabis alongside medical cannabis products. The market launched on August 6, 2024, with 98 dispensaries licensed to sell adult-use products, according to FOX8.

The DCC update also noted there are 37 licensed cannabis cultivators in Ohio, 46 processors, 8 testing labs, and 549 physicians holding certificates to recommend patients for the medical cannabis program. Additionally, the current average price per gram of cannabis flower in Ohio is $6.63.

The state’s medical cannabis program, which was established in 2019, has seen its numbers fall since adult-use sales began, although there remained over 450,000 patients registered with the program as of June 2025.

The total combined cannabis sales in Ohio surpassed $2.5 billion in March, led by surging adult-use sales.
