Terms of Use

Welcome to LorainMarijuana.Clinic (the "Site," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use this Site.

1. About This Site — Information & Marketing Platform Only

LorainMarijuana.Clinic is an information and marketing website. We provide general information about Ohio's medical marijuana program and facilitate access to third-party telehealth booking services. This Site does not provide medical services, issue certifications, render clinical advice, or participate in any clinical decision-making.

We are not a medical practice, pharmacy, dispensary, cannabis cooperative, or healthcare provider. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government agency, including the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) or the State Medical Board of Ohio (SMBO).

All appointment scheduling services are facilitated through Acuity Scheduling, an independent third-party booking platform. All clinical services — including evaluations, recommendations, and clinical decisions — are provided solely by independent CTR-certified Ohio physicians who are not employees, agents, or representatives of this Site.

2. Independent Medical Practitioners

When you book an appointment through this Site, you are scheduling with an independent, third-party CTR-certified Ohio physician. These physicians are solely responsible for:

  • Determining whether you have a qualifying condition under Ohio law
  • Conducting the telehealth evaluation
  • Making all clinical decisions
  • Issuing or denying any medical marijuana recommendation in their sole professional discretion
  • Compliance with all applicable Ohio state laws and SMBO regulations

We do not supervise, direct, credential, control, or employ any physician. No provider–patient relationship exists between you and LorainMarijuana.Clinic. Any such relationship exists only between you and the independent physician you choose to book with.

3. No Guarantee of Outcomes

We do not guarantee that you will be approved for any medical marijuana recommendation, that an appointment will be available at a particular time or price, or that a physician will accept you as a patient. Recommendation decisions are made solely by the independent CTR-certified physician at their professional discretion.

4. Eligibility

Use of this Site is intended for adults who are 18 years of age or older and who are Ohio residents with a condition that may qualify under the State Medical Board of Ohio's approved conditions list. You must hold a valid Ohio photo ID to access medical marijuana at a licensed Ohio dispensary.

5. Booking, Payments & Refunds

Appointment booking is facilitated through Acuity Scheduling. Payment may be made by major credit card at the time of booking.

Refund eligibility, cancellation rules, and no-show policies are governed by the policy disclosed at the time of booking and/or the independent physician's posted policy. LorainMarijuana.Clinic does not control refund decisions and is not responsible for issuing refunds unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

If you do not receive a recommendation following your appointment, you may be eligible for a refund in accordance with the booking platform's refund policy.

6. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep information on this Site up to date. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content. Always verify program details with the official State Medical Board of Ohio and OMMCP patient registry.

12. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, both parties agree to resolve it through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable commercial arbitration rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.

You agree to bring claims only on an individual basis. Class actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general actions, and representative proceedings are not permitted. You waive the right to a jury trial.

Either party may bring individual claims in small claims court (if eligible) or seek injunctive relief related to intellectual property or unauthorized access in court.

Jurisdiction and Venue: Exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any actions arising out of, or relating to or in any way connected with your access and/or use of this Site shall be in Bexar County, Texas if in state court, and in the Western District of Texas in San Antonio, Texas if in federal court.

Medical Disclaimer

Important: The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider before making any medical decisions.

Do not use this Site for medical emergencies. If you believe you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

LorainMarijuana.Clinic is not a medical provider. We do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide clinical care of any kind. All clinical services are provided solely by independent CTR-certified Ohio physicians who are responsible for their own professional conduct and compliance.

Medical marijuana may not be appropriate for all individuals. A CTR-certified physician evaluation is required to determine eligibility under Ohio law. The use of medical marijuana carries risks and potential side effects. Discuss all risks with your physician before beginning any new treatment.

Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law regardless of Ohio state authorization. Use may affect federal employment, housing assistance, firearms ownership, immigration status, and military service. Health insurance does not cover medical marijuana costs. For current Ohio program rules visit med.ohio.gov.

Advertising & Compensation Disclosure

LorainMarijuana.Clinic is an information and marketing website. We may receive compensation from third-party service providers, including CTR-certified physicians and telehealth booking services, for advertising and marketing services. Such compensation is not based on the provision of medical services, patient outcomes, or treatment decisions.

We do not provide medical care, issue recommendations, or participate in clinical decision-making in any way. All clinical decisions are made solely by the independent CTR-certified physicians you choose to book with.

Nothing on this Site should be construed as a direction, recommendation, or endorsement of any particular healthcare provider or telehealth service.

Acknowledgement of Federal Law

Cannabis is categorized as a Schedule I substance under the United States Controlled Substances Act. Under federal law, the manufacturing, distribution, dispensing, or possession of cannabis is illegal, and individuals engaging in these activities may face arrest and/or prosecution. The medical use of cannabis is not recognized as a valid defense under federal law. Transporting cannabis across state lines constitutes a federal offense.
