Ohio bill to ban intoxicating hemp products and make changes to marijuana law goes to Gov. DeWine

Описание: A bill to ban intoxicating hemp products and make it illegal to bring legally purchased marijuana back to Ohio from another state is now heading to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's desk for his signature after being passed by Ohio Senate Republicans.

The Ohio Senate voted along party lines 22-7 to pass Senate Bill 56 Tuesday. The Ohio House passed the bill at the end of a marathon session last month. If DeWine signs the bill into law before the new year, it could take effect as soon as March.

"(Intoxicating hemp products are) going to be off the shelves immediately upon the effectiveness of this bill," Ohio Senate Majority Leader Rob McColley, R-Napoleon, said.

Ohio's bill complies with recent federal changes by banning intoxicating hemp products from being sold outside of a licensed marijuana dispensary.
