Ohio's medical marijuana patients will soon be able to buy more marijuana over a 90-day period.
The Board of Pharmacy filed a rule Monday that would allow people to purchase 9 ounces of dried flower regardless of THC content, eliminating a convoluted system that patients have complained about for years. The board will consider a resolution during its meeting next week and could implement the change as soon as Jan. 3.
"This will ultimately simplify the days supply count for dispensary staff and reduce confusion amongst patients about what constitutes a single day supply," spokesman Cameron McNamee said in an email.

Ohio currently limits patients to 8 ounces of flower over 90 days, or 5.3 ounces of higher potency marijuana. The daily allotment of 2.83 grams didn't properly factor into that amount, which left patients unable to get a full 90-day supply.
