Detailed background
Ohio Senate Bill 57 (2019) decoupled hemp and CBD from the state's controlled substances act and authorized retail sale of hemp-derived CBD with under 0.3% THC. Ohio's hemp program operates through the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Adult-use marijuana was legalized via Issue 2 (November 2023, effective late 2024). Hemp-derived CBD remains a separate, freely available retail product.
