Ohio Issue 2 allows adults age 21 and over to grow up to six cannabis plants per individual and twelve per household, with strict requirements that plants stay out of public view and be secured against access by minors and the public.
ORC §3780.29 authorizes adult home cultivation in Ohio: a maximum of six plants per adult resident and twelve plants per household regardless of how many adults live there. Plants must be grown in a secured, locked area not visible from public spaces. Renters must check lease terms; landlords may prohibit cultivation on leased premises. Cannabis grown at home cannot be sold, traded, or given as part of a commercial transaction; gifting up to one ounce among adults remains permitted. Columbus has not enacted local restrictions tighter than the state floor, but odors causing repeated nuisance complaints may trigger CCC nuisance enforcement.
Exceeding plant counts, growing in public view, allowing access by minors, or selling home-grown product can result in misdemeanor charges, plant forfeiture, and possible felony exposure for commercial trafficking.
