Ohio lawmakers are turning their attention to intoxicating hemp products with the introduction of a New Ohio Bill that could reshape the state's cannabis landscape. State Sen. Bill DeMora recently introduced Senate Bill 266, a measure aimed squarely at restricting Hemp Sales to individuals under 21. Unlike other legislation, this New Ohio Bill focuses only on hemp, not voter-approved marijuana law.
The New Ohio Bill proposes strict safeguards. It would prohibit Hemp Sales of intoxicating products that have not undergone testing under marijuana standards. Additionally, it bans products considered attractive to children, such as edibles resembling candy, cookies, or fruit characters. DeMora said, "Everybody agrees intoxicating hemp products targeted to kids look like Skittles or Oreos and are unregulated. This New Ohio Bill addresses that problem."
He stressed the urgent need for lawmakers to regulate or ban certain Hemp Sales, noting that without oversight, products may continue to make children sick.
The New Ohio Bill aligns with growing calls to separate marijuana and hemp policy. DeMora emphasized that while marijuana has its own voter-approved framework, hemp products require their own regulatory path. By tackling Hemp Sales independently, the New Ohio Bill aims to create clarity and safety in Ohio's cannabis market.
