Ohio lawmakers are considering a new bill that would significantly restrict the sale of most ingestible and intoxicating hemp products, including Delta-8 THC and certain CBD products. Senate Bill 86, introduced by Republican Senator Steve Huffman, would require these products to be sold exclusively in marijuana dispensaries, with limited exceptions for lotions, salves, and certain beverages. The proposed legislation has sparked a debate between supporters who argue for tighter regulations to protect children and align hemp-derived intoxicants with state marijuana laws, and the hemp industry, which believes the bill would devastate small businesses and limit consumer choice.
