Ohio Issue 2 (2023) legalized adult-use cannabis but does not authorize home delivery to consumers; only dispensary in-person sales are permitted, with Cleveland following state Division of Cannabis Control rules.
Ohio Issue 2 passed in November 2023 legalized adult-use cannabis for residents 21 and older, with retail sales launching through 2024–2025 under the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC). Unlike California or Michigan, Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780 and DCC rules do not authorize licensed retail home delivery to consumers; purchases must occur in-person at a licensed dispensary. Inter-licensee transport between cultivators, processors, and dispensaries is permitted via DCC-licensed secure transporters. Cleveland follows the state framework — no city ordinance authorizes consumer delivery, and unlicensed delivery services remain illegal.
Operating an unlicensed cannabis delivery service, transporting product without a DCC secure-transport license, or buying from non-dispensary delivery can trigger felony charges and license action.
