No Ohio Supreme Court is not the law of the land. I have been doing some quick research and there is case after case (all different states) with judgements regarding the smell of marijuana constituting as probable cause for a warrantless search of your vehicle. With many different opinions but it is pretty consistant that the oder of marijuana can suport a finding of probable cause to search a vehicle without a warrant.
There is an interesting case that may interst you Trampy
