Ohio's Recreational Cannabis: Almost Ready To Roll

Today, May 13, 2024, Ohio's Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) approved eleven rules previously submitted by the Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) for administrative rule review. Under Ohio law, JCARR is the final committee that must approve the proposed rules.

Now what?

Next, the DCC will file the approved rules in the State's Electronic Rule Filing (ERF) System and set their effective dates. The rules cannot become effective before the tenth day after DCC has filed them in the ERF System. Per Marijuana Moment, Ohio Representative Jamie Callender, Vice Chair of JCARR, believes the rules will go into effect in the next couple of weeks.

When will applications be available?
