Ohio Judge Blocks Governor’s Intoxicating Hemp Product Ban for 2 Weeks

Ohio shops selling intoxicating products containing hemp derivatives have another two weeks to conduct business as usual after a judge issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Oct. 14, blocking Gov. Mike DeWine’s executive order.

The executive order, which aims to force Ohio retailers – such as vape shops and gas stations – to stop selling intoxicating hemp products for at least 90 days, was set to go into effect on Oct. 14 as part of the governor’s plan for the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) to adopt emergency regulations to prevent youth access and install consumer safeguards.
