Ohio Senator Introduces Bill That Would Ban Sale Of Intoxicating Hemp Products To Anyone Under 21
“It’s a huge problem,” DeWine said talking to reporters on Monday
Ohio state Sen. Bill DeMora recently introduced a bill that would ban the sale of intoxicating hemp products to people under 21. Unlike some others that have been introduced, this bill would focus solely on hemp and not on changing voter-passed marijuana law.
Ohio Senate Bill 266 would also ban the sale of intoxicating hemp products that have not been tested under the same rules as marijuana and would prevent selling intoxicating hemp products that are “considered attractive to children,” according to the bill’s language.
This bill would prohibit selling an intoxicating hemp product “that bears the likeness or contains the characteristics of a realistic or fictional human, animal, or fruit, including artistic, caricature, or cartoon renderings,” according to the bill’s language.
“I put this bill in to get rid of the stuff that everybody agrees is bad,” Columbus Democratic state Sen. DeMora said. “Everybody agrees (intoxicating hemp products are) targeted to children to look like Skittles and Oreo cookies and that it’s unregulated. … We need to act because this stuff is poisoning kids (and) making kids sick.”
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has previously asked lawmakers to regulate or ban delta-8 THC products.
