Medicateoh

MedicateOH is a nonprofit initiative that produces original journalism, advocacy, and community events to bridge the gap in education for Ohioans seeking medically and legally guided answers about health, wellness, and the state’s medical marijuana program. Its reporting focuses on cannabis as medicine, highlighting issues often overlooked by traditional media and providing accessible, evidence-based information to empower users and their communities. Operating as a fiscally sponsored project of Community Shares of Mid-Ohio, MedicateOH ensures all programs and resources are offered without commercial influence, prioritizing education, advocacy, and community support. The organization hosts events that foster dialogue between cannabis users, healthcare providers, policymakers, and the public, promoting informed decision-making and reducing stigma around medical cannabis use. MedicateOH also shares insights from other regions, such as its sister organization MedicateKY, which supports people in Kentucky using cannabis as medicine. Through journalism, advocacy, and events, MedicateOH seeks to advance understanding, improve access to medically guided cannabis resources, and strengthen equitable policies in Ohio, ultimately supporting a healthier, more informed community.
