Under Ohio Issue 2 (effective December 2023), adults 21 and over may cultivate up to 6 plants per adult, maximum 12 plants per household. Plants must be in a locked, private, non-public area. Dublin cannot ban home cultivation.
Ohio voters approved Issue 2 in November 2023 legalizing recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older. Statewide rules permit possession of up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and up to 15 grams of concentrate, and home cultivation of up to 6 plants per adult with a maximum of 12 plants per household regardless of number of adults. Plants must be secured in an area not visible to the public and not accessible to minors. Home cultivation rules are state-preempted; Dublin cannot prohibit or require a permit for home grows. However, smoking or vaping in public remains prohibited, and landlords may ban use and cultivation in rental properties.
Exceeding plant limit or public visibility: minor misdemeanor under state law, fine up to 150 dollars. Smoking in public: minor misdemeanor.
