How much is the tax on cannabis in Ohio?

How Ohio's cannabis tax works

Three taxes apply to adult-use purchases in Ohio:

• 10% adult-use excise tax. Set by Ohio's cannabis law and collected at checkout. Medical purchases are exempt.
• 5.75% Ohio state sales tax. The statewide base rate, on both adult-use and medical purchases.
• County sales tax. Between 0.75% and 2.25% at Bloom's stores, depending on the county.

Senate Bill 56, in effect since March 20, 2026, kept the excise tax at 10%.

Rates from the Ohio Department of Taxation for October to December 2026. County rates can change each quarter, and your receipt shows the exact taxes on your order. North Columbus, opening soon, will be in Franklin County.

What medical patients pay

Registered medical patients are exempt from the 10% excise tax and pay only state and county sales tax — between 6.5% and 8% at Bloom's stores. For regular customers, that difference adds up. See the Ohio medical marijuana card guide to learn who qualifies.

Where the tax money goes

Under Senate Bill 56, 36% of excise tax revenue goes to the Host Community Cannabis Fund, which is shared with the cities and townships that host adult-use dispensaries. The rest of the excise tax, along with state sales tax revenue, goes to the state's general fund.
