More than 42,000 people can legally buy medical marijuana in Ohio with a doctor’s recommendation, but only about half of them have, state records show.
When asked why they haven’t bought any medicinal cannabis, patients cited a common reason: cost.
Marijuana is approved to treat 21 conditions in Ohio, including post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain. Patients who want to use cannabis to treat those conditions acknowledged that prices have fallen, but said expense was still by far the biggest barrier.
