Ohio Cannabis Facts
Ohio legalized medical cannabis in 2016, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access medical marijuana.

The state is currently developing regulations for adult-use sales, with implementation expected in 2025.
Ohio Cannabis Business FAQs
What taxes do cannabis businesses pay in Ohio?
Ohio has legalized adult-use cannabis, and operators will be subject to state excise taxes, sales taxes, and possibly local business taxes depending on location. While the regulatory framework is still being finalized, medical marijuana businesses already face strict oversight and reporting obligations.
Does 280E apply to cannabis businesses in Ohio?
Yes. Even with legalization at the state level, IRS Section 280E still applies. That means Ohio cannabis businesses can’t deduct standard expenses on federal taxes—only COGS. A cannabis CPA can help minimize your effective tax rate by structuring compliant, optimized financial systems.
Why should I work with a cannabis CPA in Ohio?
As Ohio transitions from a medical-only market to full adult-use, the financial and compliance landscape is changing quickly. A cannabis CPA ensures you’re prepared for audits, 280E issues, and state regulatory filings—giving you peace of mind and financial clarity from day one.
What financial reports should Ohio cannabis operators track?
Operators should maintain COGS reports, seed-to-sale inventory logs, tax filings, cash handling documentation, and regular financial statements. These help protect your license, support future growth, and keep your business healthy.
