This Is Currently The Best Ohio Recreational Weed In 2025

Weed in Ohio has just been getting better and better since its 2023 legalization. 

Long gone are the days of hit-or-miss buds. Thanks to advancements in growing techniques and some serious research, the quality and potency of Ohio cannabis have skyrocketed. 

And there’s one dispensary in particular that’s offering some of the best weed in Ohio. 

As of December 7, 2023, Ohio proudly joined the ranks as the 24th state to legalize recreational cannabis. Ohio weed laws state that if you’re 21 or older, you’re now allowed to carry up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower and 15 grams of extract.

After the legalization, Ohioans experienced a waiting period of several months, but the patience paid off. By June of this year, nearly 100 recreational cannabis dispensaries had opened their doors across the state, marking a new era for Ohio’s cannabis lovers.

Ohioans have seen their options for purchasing cannabis explode from zero to over a hundred.

Typing “Ohio recreational dispensary near me” is your likely go-to Google search, which shoots out a never-ending list of shops. But if you’re aiming for quality, you’ll want to visit the best dispensary in Ohio, where top-tier products meet fair pricing.

There’s one dispensary making waves in this state: Amplify. 

• Address: 1782 Coventry Road, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118
• Phone: 216-465-3920
• Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 8 PM; Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM

• Address: 5304 North Hamilton Road, Columbus, OH 43230
• Phone: 614-656-7222
• Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 8 PM; Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM

• Phone: 440-797-5696
• Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 8 PM; Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM

They have three locations in Ohio (Columbus has a drive-thru!) and have quickly become a favorite spot for many locals (some of us included). Not everyone cares so much about the service when buying weed — at the end of the day, as long as there’s ganja in hand, we’re all good. 

But exceptional service that feels natural can make a lasting impact. The staff does exactly that—they’re an absolute vibe, making the environment feel like a second home. 

If you’re a first-time shopper, you can even schedule a session with the store’s licensed pharmacist to guide your choices.

And, unlike many others, Amplify offers weekly deals that genuinely lighten the load on your wallet.

We keep a handful of Amplify’s products in our weekly rotation:

• THCA: 28%
• Sativa-Dominant
• Strain: Girl Scout Cookies x Blue Dream x Ghost OG x 92 OG
• Terpenes: Myrcene, Limonene, beta-Pinene, Caryophyllene, Linalool

92 Cookies by Buckeye Relief features some iconic strains in its lineage. Packed with clustered tiny orange hairs and amber trichomes, this potent strain offers flavors and aromas of spicy herbs and sweet coffee.

It’s potent enough to avoid “Is this even working?” moments, yet not so intense that you dread the burnout.

Our current favorite bedtime snack is the dreamy yet melatonin-free Wana Dream Berry gummies. Each gummy is loaded with 10mg of THC plus CBD, CBN, and CBG for a relaxing, stress-free experience.

These gummies are also infused with more than 30 specialized terpenes to ensure you can fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up the next morning without feeling groggy.

Featuring high-potency distillate oil and natural botanical terpenes, the Edie Parker Lavender Vanilla Disposable is an all-in-one vape ready to help you catch a buzz whenever you need it.

This particular disposable is a chef’s kiss—offering flavors of creamy vanilla and floral lavender for a refreshing sensory experience. This Indica oil will have you flying high thanks to its generous potency, and paired with botanical terpenes, you’ll be on cloud nine in no time.

If you have an Airo vape, this Sativa-dominant Black Mamba pod is killer. Available in 0.5g or 1g cart options, these pods pack the signature citrus and blackberry flavors that define the Black Mamba strain. 

This is hands-down one of our favorite badders to use right now, primarily due to its insane flavor intensity. Smooth, golden, and deliciously rich, it sets a high bar. 

Buckeye extracts this live resin at sub-zero temperatures and takes its time with an extremely slow cure, preserving every bit of the plant’s goodness.
