Marijuana and Hemp Banking in Ohio: Current Rules and Regulations

Like many states in the US, Ohio’s laws are a minefield for CRBs. In 2016, Governor Kasich signed Ohio’s medical marijuana program into law. Since then, the state has become one of the fastest-growing medical cannabis markets in the United States.

However, recreational cannabis remains illegal. Nonetheless, the industry is experiencing skyrocketing growth, and this trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.

According to the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program, the state’s medical marijuana market is predicted to generate over $770 million in sales by 2025 as more patients are approved for medical marijuana treatment.

The high market entry cost has made it difficult for small businesses to compete. That’s why cannabis banking in Ohio is pivotal.

However, the Ohio Cannabis Association is working to address these challenges by advocating for regulatory changes that will benefit patients, businesses, and the industry. The organization is also dedicated to promoting the growth of a diverse and inclusive hemp industry.
