Ohio Issue 2 allows residents 21+ to grow up to 6 cannabis plants per adult, capped at 12 plants per household, in a secure non-public location; Cleveland has not added stricter local caps beyond state limits.
Ohio Revised Code §3780.29 (enacted via Issue 2, 2023) authorizes adults 21 and older to cultivate up to six cannabis plants for personal use, with a hard cap of 12 plants per residence regardless of how many adults live there. Plants must be grown in a secure, enclosed location not visible from public space, and only by the resident — not commercial operators. Cleveland has not enacted local caps lower than the state floor. Landlords retain the right to prohibit cultivation in lease terms. Smoking cannabis in public remains prohibited under ORC §3780.36 and Cleveland public-conduct rules.
Exceeding 12 plants per household, growing visible from public space, or cultivating in a rental where lease prohibits it can trigger civil penalties and lease termination.
