Ohio Cannabis Sales

Ohio's two-year sales growth of 168% puts it among the fastest-expanding cannabis markets nationwide, fueled by the transition from medical-only to adult-use retail. The dispensary count jumped 38.3% year over year to 206 locations, and while overall sales rose 30.5%, falling prices suggest that competition among operators is intensifying as supply catches up with surging consumer demand across the state.
