“The issue of so-called intoxicating h**p has become a growing concern across Ohio, undermining our state’s regulated cannabis industry, confusing consumers, and putting public health at risk,” said David Bowling, executive director of OHCANN.

Ohio legislative leaders say they’ll be forced to change course on the route to regulate intoxicating h**p in the state, following a provision in the federal budget bill passed this week that places new restrictions on h**p-derived products.

"I mean, these were unregulated products. You don't know what's in it. You don't know where it's manufactured. If you're taking them at their word that the packaging is actually what's in it, then you're taking a massive gamble with your health and potentially your life or the life of a child."

Beware of intoxicating h**p products disguised as candy this Halloween.

Police discover counterfeit Halloween candy containing THC and hallucinogenic mushrooms in Michigan. Parents warned to inspect all treats before children consume them.

"Intoxicating h**p-derived THC products have inundated communities throughout our states due to a grievously mistaken interpretation of the 2018 Farm Bill’s definition of ‘h**p’ that companies are leveraging to pursue profits at the expense of public safety and health."

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is among a bipartisan group asking Congress to rein in the intoxicating h**p sector.

“You should not allow irresponsible corporations to take advantage of your good work to purvey dangerous products in our states,” the letter reads. “We ask Congress to act decisively to clarify the Farm Bill’s definition of h**p to ensure intoxicating THC products are taken off the market.”

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost joined a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general seeking to clarify the 2018 Farm Bill's h**p definition that has allowed intoxicating products to flood the market.

"These products are being manufactured and sold without consistent age restrictions, labeling standards, or safety requirements. In some states, poison control centers have reported alarming increases in pediatric exposures to these substances."

Thank you Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost for urging Congress to act on this issue.

In their letter, the coalition of attorneys general urges the leaders of the Senate Committee on Appropriations; the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry; the House Committee on Appropriations; and the House Committee on Agriculture to clarify the federal definition of h**p durin...
