Recreational use of marijuana remains illegal in Ohio. The state does allow the medical use of
weed. House Bill 523, which took effect
back in 2016, established the structure for medical marijuana in the
state. While there are no dispensaries
set up, eligible patients my obtain a state-issued patient identification card
to use as an effective defense.
Like most states, Ohio has substantially loosened its
marijuana laws. Possessing less than
three and a half ounces of cannabis is considered a minor misdemeanor according
to Buckeye State law. However, you could
have your driver’s license suspended for up to five years! That last point may have gotten your
attention.
How many of us can afford to give up our driver’s license
for even a week? This is serious
business, so take it just as seriously if you are busted for marijuana
possession in the State of Ohio even in this relaxed era you may need vigorous
defense. Many times, the only sin you
may have committed is not call Jon. He
