DeWine signs executive order to temporarily ban sale of intoxicating hemp products

Governor DeWine's 90-day ban targets unregulated THC hemp products linked to a 52% rise in child exposures, aiming to protect youth amid legislative delays on hemp regulation.

  • Governor Mike DeWine has signed an executive order to ban the sale of intoxicating hemp products in Ohio, effective by October 14.
  • Retailers who do not comply with the ban could face daily fines of $500 for each day they sell these products, which DeWine stated are harmful to young brains.
  • Reports indicate that exposures to delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC among youth rose significantly between 2021 and 2024.
  • The order may stay in effect for up to 90 days unless renewed by the Ohio General Assembly, despite criticism from Edibles Brand, which called it misguided.
