Tax stack
Excise
10% Ohio adult-use cannabis excise (ORC §5743.62) — applied at retail. Medical patients exempt.
Sales / Use
5.75% Ohio state sales tax — applied on top of the 10% excise. Total state stack: 15.75% on adult-use; medical sales pay only the 5.75% sales tax.
Local option
County permissive sales tax stacks 0.25-2.25% (Cuyahoga ~2.25%, Franklin ~1.5%, Hamilton ~2.25%) — auto-derived per store address. Combined adult-use stack typically 16.5-18% in metros.

We serve here — honestly
We don’t operate stores in Ohio. We do follow DCC bulletins, the medical-conversion-to-dual-license topology from the Issue 2 initial-rollout, the medical-vs-adult-use lane split with the 10%-vs-exempt cannabis-tax difference, and the METRC-cadence reconciliation requirements. CannAgent ships OH support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
