About

Who we are, and the terms you'll hear

ElyriaCannabis.Clinic is an independent scheduling and information service for Lorain County.

What we do

We run a scheduling calendar for evaluations with Ohio physicians certified to recommend medical marijuana and explain the state's program in plain language. We're not a medical practice, a dispensary, or a government office, and we have no affiliation with the State of Ohio or any dispensary named on this site.

Every physician is an Ohio-licensed MD or DO with an active Certificate to Recommend. Each decides independently. Telehealth visits use HIPAA-compliant platforms.

How we're funded

Participating physicians and telehealth partners pay for advertising and patient-connection services, as described in our Advertising Disclosure. That funding never affects clinical decisions, and we don't store medical records or payment information.

For official rules, visit the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control. To reach us, use the form on our Terms & Policies page.
