Adults 21+ with a valid, government-issued ID can purchase up to 24 MMEs per month.
Missouri Medical Marijuana patients with a standard, valid medical card can purchase up to 48 MMEs per month.
What's an MME, you ask?
- Cannabis is sold in many forms, so the state of Missouri created a system called Missouri Medical Marijuana Equivalency Units (MMEs) for patients.
- 1 MME = 3.5g of dried flower (equivalent to 1/8th ounce) = 1 gram of concentrate = 100mg of THC-infused food, beverage, tincture, topical, etc. For a handy reference chart and more info, click here.
Ohio

Ohio medical cannabis patients with an active registry card may purchase up to their 90-day supply, as long as they have days remaining in their fill period. Medical sales are tracked in “whole day units.”
What is a “whole day unit,” you ask?Ohio uses “whole day units” to keep medical purchases consistent across product types.
- 1 whole day unit = 2.83 g plant material, or
- Up to 590 mg THC in oil for vaporization, or
- Up to 110 mg THC in oral forms like capsules, tinctures, or edibles, or
- Up to 295 mg THC in topicals such as patches, lotions, or creams.

Cannabis 101
The endocannabinoid system (ECS for short) is the system in your body that is responsible for keeping all your other systems in balance with one another as you encounter stress throughout your daily life.
This system is supported by cannabinoids, a compound found abundantly in the cannabis plant. To learn more about the ECS, click here.
Terpenes are the compounds that give plants their smell and flavor. They are responsible for many of the therapeutic benefits of herbs, and they impact the effects a specific cannabis strain will provide. Click here to learn more about terpenes, or check out our YouTube video series on terpenes here.
Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with your endocannabinoid system.
Cannabinoids are created naturally both within your body and in the cannabis plant (as well as some other plants, too!). Click here to learn more about your endocannabinoid system.
There is no standard dose when it comes to cannabis; your experience is unique to your physiology.
That said, we always recommend starting low and going slow. When trying a new product, start with a microdose and slowly increase until you feel the desired effects. Click here to learn more about microdosing.
