Under Ohio Issue 2 and Revised Code Chapter 3780, adults 21+ in Cincinnati may grow up to six cannabis plants per person and twelve per household for personal use, in a secure space not visible from public view.
Ohio Issue 2, codified in Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3780, allows adults 21 and older in Cincinnati to cultivate cannabis at their primary residence. The household limit is six plants per individual, with a maximum of twelve plants total even if multiple adults reside together. Cultivation must take place in a secure, enclosed area not visible from public spaces, including streets, sidewalks, and neighboring properties. Renters need landlord permission, and Cincinnati may still enforce nuisance, odor, and code rules under CMC Title 9. Sale of homegrown cannabis remains illegal; transfers must be limited to non-commercial gifts to other adults under state law.
Exceeding plant limits, growing in plain view, or selling homegrown cannabis can trigger state misdemeanor or felony charges under ORC 3780, plus city nuisance citations for odor, ventilation, or unsafe electrical setups.
