Ohioans spent nearly $80 million on cannabis last month, with clear product preferences
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Ohioans spent nearly $80 million on marijuana last month, and state sales data reveals the Buckeye State's preferred cannabis products. NBC4 compared the latest available sales data from the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control to examine which products Ohioans like best.

In the visualization above, lotions, creams, etc. refers to topical lotions, creams, ointments and any tinctures sold. 'Other' accounts for oral oils, patches, sublingual products and tablets. State cannabis control marks sales on a weekly basis, so although the data is simplified to say April sales, it tracks March 30 through April 26, the latest product data available. Now open: New restaurants in central Ohio The trend toward flower, vape products and edibles was consistent for both medical and recreational purchases. Flower, or dried marijuana that can be ground up and smoked, accounted for more than half of sales, comprising 52% of medical sales and 53% of recreational sales. In total, Ohioans bought nearly eight tons of cannabis flower last month alone. Recreational shoppers favored vape products, which made up 35% of non-medical sales and 31.5% of medical sales. Medical marijuana patients liked edibles more than their recreational counterparts, with edibles making up 14% of medical marijuana purchases but 11% of recreational sales. The most profitable week in April was the week leading up to 4/20, with Ohioans purchasing more than $22 million in cannabis products from April 13 to 19. Edibles were the least expensive products, averaging $17.90 where capsules, lotions and other products all averaged $32. In April, an ounce of weed in Ohio averaged $168.52.

Ohio State appeared at the White House and VP JD Vance nearly wrecked the trophy
Ohio State appeared at the White House and VP JD Vance nearly wrecked the trophy Ohio State and the College Football National Championship trophy made an appearance at the White House on Monday. The football team and coach Ryan Day were intact but the hardware had a rough day in the nation's capital. Vice president JD Vance, from the Buckeye State himself, was on hand to celebrate the champions, along with President Donald Trump. When it came time to lift the trophy and show it off for the assembled throng of people and media, things fell apart. More like the top of the trophy came off the platform, which headed South as the VP tried not to completely mangle it. It is a good thing Ohio State's wideouts and running backs have better hands than the vice president.
