In Ohio, your medical marijuana (MMJ) certification, along with patient and caregiver registrations, are valid for one year from the date the state issues the ID. For terminally ill patients, registrations last for six months. This validity period is crucial for ensuring that patients continue to receive their treatments under current medical oversight and renew their status as required by state regulations.
