DeWine’s Executive Order Banning ‘Intoxicating Hemp’ to Go Into Effect Tuesday
Governor DeWine declared a consumer product safety emergency to ban intoxicating hemp products for 90 days amid health concerns, affecting all Ohio retailers and manufacturers.

- Plaintiffs, including Titan Logistics Group and the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, argue that DeWine's actions exceed his authority as governor, based on statutory law stating these hemp products are not adulterated.
- Governor DeWine's ban, effective October 14, prohibits the sale of various hemp products but does not impact sales at licensed dispensaries across Ohio.
- The lawsuit claims DeWine's actions infringe upon laws established by the 2018 Farm Bill, indicating he does not have the authority to unilaterally ban such products based on legislative principles.
