COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Medical marijuana dispensaries can set-up shop at 56 sites approved Monday by the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy.

Dispensaries will sell medical marijuana plant material for vaping, and in oil, tinctures, lotions, patches, and edibles. Ohio's law prohibits smoking marijuana or growing it at home.

Patients with one of 21 qualifying medical conditions can buy and use marijuana after registering through a doctor certified to recommend medical marijuana in Ohio. Patient registrations are expected to begin in July.

Ohio's medical marijuana program is supposed to be "fully operational" by Sept. 8, but state officials acknowledged in April that won't be the case. Twenty-five companies have been awarded cultivation licenses, but none have been given the OK to begin growing plants.

1. Allowed Conditions in Ohio

What are the qualifying medical conditions?

Patients qualify if they have the following conditions: HIV/AIDS; Alzheimer's disease; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); cancer; chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE); Crohn's disease; epilepsy or another seizure disorder; fibromyalgia; glaucoma; hepatitis C; inflammatory bowel disease; multiple sclerosis; pain that is chronic and severe, or intractable; Parkinson's disease; post traumatic stress disorder; sickle cell anemia; spinal cord disease or injury; Tourette's syndrome; traumatic brain injury; and ulcerative colitis. Individuals can petition the state medical board to add conditions.

Doctors must register with the state, which will require completing some type of continuing education about cannabis, before being able to recommend marijuana to patients with whom they have bona fide relationships. The patient registration process would be determined by the Ohio State Pharmacy Board.
