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.

  • A Franklin County judge has temporarily blocked Governor Mike DeWine's short-term ban on intoxicating hemp products due to concerns over new definitions being added that do not exist.
  • 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.
