Buckeye Relief

What Buckeye Relief does

Buckeye Relief is a privately held Ohio medical marijuana cultivator and processor founded in 2017 and headquartered outside Cleveland on the shore of Lake Erie. The company operates a single high-tech controlled-environment agriculture facility and cultivates cannabis flower using clean and sustainable practices, with daily individual plant attention, whole-plant hang drying, hand trimming, and a 30-day minimum cure. Its processing operation is built on two proprietary extraction tracks: a dry trim extraction process using liquid hydrocarbon solvents with multi-micron filtration (down to 5 microns) and distillation/blending for distillate and tincture products; and a fresh frozen sub-zero hydrocarbon extraction process at -88°F with a 3-4 week slow purge and gravity-based THCA/terpene sauce separation designed to preserve delicate terpenes.

The company sells a diversified product portfolio across flower, extracts, vapes, and edibles under its own Buckeye brand and sub-brand Amplify, and serves as the exclusive Ohio provider for multiple national cannabis brands including Willie's Reserve, Wana, Airo, Edie Parker, H by Ricky Williams (Keef Brands), and Old Pal. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer via the Amplify dispensary and an e-commerce shop with wholesale distribution through licensed Ohio medical marijuana dispensaries. Pricing is set at the dispensary level rather than by Buckeye Relief and is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is Ohio medical marijuana patients aged 18+ with valid Ohio medical marijuana cards and qualifying medical conditions.

Buckeye Relief earns revenue through per-unit sales of cultivated and processed cannabis products (transaction-fee revenue model). Marketing is driven through organic social (Facebook, Instagram), email newsletter sign-ups, and website content. The company is a member of the Ohio Medical Cannabis Industry Association (OHCANN). No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership disclosures, or revenue figures are provided in the available source material, and the company is confined by regulation to the Ohio medical marijuana market.
