Ohios New Cannabis Law Bans THC Drinks and Hemp Gummies, Despite Voter Support for Legalization
Ohio businesses can no longer sell THC drinks or hemp gummies, as a push to block the new law failed. The law, signed by Governor Mike DeWine, aligns with federal rules by banning hemp products with more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container and synthetics like delta-eight. It targets the rise in unregulated cannabis items and closes a loophole in recreational marijuana rules.
Supporters of cannabis reform are frustrated, as Ohio voters recently approved legalization. The marijuana industry stayed out of the referendum fight, fearing it would eliminate the entire hemp market. The bill also imposes strict rules, such as no possession of out-of-state dispensary marijuana, stricter storage for drivers, and bans on smoking or vaping anywhere but private homes. It even removes legal protections for users, potentially affecting jobs, benefits, and family rights.
A surprising twist: Governor DeWine allowed bars and breweries to sell THC drinks until 2026. Breweries sued, claiming he overstepped, and the case is still pending with the Ohio Supreme Court.
