Senate Bill 56 took effect on 20 March. An adult may possess up to 2.5 ounces of plant material, or 15 grams of extract, when it comes from a licensed Ohio dispensary or was grown at that adult's primary residence.[1] A gift to another adult, with no payment, may be that same amount to the same person on the same day, and only on privately owned land used mainly as a home or a farm, including the buildings on it.[2] A transfer outside those conditions is trafficking.[1] Medical marijuana is outside the gift rule.[1]
