OHIO – This past week Senate passed a bill that would legalize the use of hemp and CBD hemp oils for industrial use in the state.

The bill would allow hemp cultivation as long as it contained less that .03% THC making it mostly free of drug active ingredients. This bill piggybacks after a 2018 reclassification of the farm bill that classifies hemp as a product not a drug.
The bill passed unanimously through the house and is supported by farmers and retailers saying it will bring more job to Ohio.
