Cannabis sales in Ohio totaled $242 million in 2024, according to state Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) data. Adult-use sales in the state commenced in August and in the five months since the program launched, cannabis operators sold more than 32,000 pounds of raw plant material, and 4 million pounds of manufactured products have been sold in dispensaries throughout the state.
Medical cannabis sales topped $2.05 billion which outpaced last year’s sales of about $1.6 billion.
From the launch of adult-use sales, the price-per-gram of cannabis flower in Ohio fell from $9.40 to $6.74, while the average sale price for manufactured products fell from $31.06 to $26.76.
State regulators are seeking changes to the state’s cannabis industry in 2025 with the DCC considering allowing retailers to sell pre-roll products, including so-called “super pre-rolls” or infused pre-roll products, but also implementing a ban on cannabis advertising via methods “with a high likelihood of reaching persons under the age of 18” which would effectively bar cannabis companies from advertising on billboards, radio, television, and online. The DCC is also considering discount rules that specify that each dispensary must have a written discount policy and that any discount offered to adult-use customers must be available to medical cannabis patients, and that dispensary employees cannot receive any rebates or discounts.
