Columbus, Ohio — Governor Mike DeWine this week signed Senate Bill 56, banning intoxicating hemp products and changing state marijuana rules. He used a line-item veto to remove a provision that would have allowed THC beverages through late 2026, making the ban effective in 90 days. The law moves intoxicating hemp sales into licensed dispensaries, aligns with federal interstate limits, and criminalizes bringing marijuana across state lines. Industry owners warn of business closures and job losses; officials cite consumer safety and regulatory clarity as motives. Reported statements include quotes from businesses and officials. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
