Ohio stores that sell intoxicating hemp-derived products can continue to do business for another two weeks after a court issued a temporary restraint order (TRO), blocking the Governor’s executive order, on October 14. Mike DeWine’s executive order.
It is important to note that the word “you” means a person. 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.
But not so fast.
Franklin County Court of Common Pleas judge Carl A. Aveni issued the TRO, and scheduled a hearing on preliminary injunction for Monday morning at 9 a.m. The court will then further examine the merits of plaintiffs. We are able to provide you with a variety of arguments Against the Governor and ODA
Aveni, in the TRO, wrote: “The Court finds that plaintiffs have proven a chance of winning on the merits.[The executive order] In doing so, the General Assembly is violating separation of powers. The executive order also attempts, on the surface, to replace the existing statutory framework enacted and approved by the General Assembly that defines hemp, hemp products, and allows for their sale.
The three plaintiffs include Cleveland-based retailer and manufacturer Titan Logistics Group; West Chester-based retailer Fumee Smoke & Vape; and Cincinnati-based manufacturer Invicta Nutraceuticals.
Titan Logistics owner and founder Wesley Bryant claimed in the suit that hemp products accounted for almost 100% of sales and that $150,000 worth of inventory would degrade in 30 days and become “unusable”.
Aveni’s order found that the plaintiffs would suffer immediate and irreparable damage if injunctive measures were not granted.
Judge also determined that the “countervailing interests” of the court in maintaining our constitutional government system outweighed any potential harm that could be caused to third parties. The public’s interest was for the Legislature to maintain its constitutional authority, rather than the unilateral action taken by the Governor.
Aveni wrote, “The separation is not just a convenience. It is an Ohio Constitutional safeguard.” The court has a limited role in enforcing this safeguard and not deciding policy issues. In line with this principle, the Court urges that the General Assembly exercise its separate constitutional authority in order to determine, through legislative action, what the scope should be of a comprehensive hemp regulation.
DeWine shared his thoughts on the matter earlier in October. The article below explains how to get started. Ohio voters reported that middle-school students were hospitalized in Cincinnati, Ohio after eating THC edibles. The following is a list of the most recent and relevant articles. In support of Issue 2 which will legalize the use of cannabis by adults in the election in 2023, they expressed their desire for a tightly regulated market for cannabinoid-based products that are intoxicating.
The governor said, “We continue to fight the case in court but today’s development highlights our desire to work with General Assembly in order to pass permanent legislation on intoxicating hemp.” Written by On X.
The following are some of the ways to get in touch with us Several bills DeWine said to reporters in October 8 that the Ohio Legislature is currently addressing hemp regulations. Last year, lawmakers did not send him a law and they haven’t done so yet this session.
DeWine presented hemp snacks that looked like popular candy and sweets for kids during the press conference.
He said, “This crisis continues to worsen and I won’t sit back and watch it continue.” Intoxicating hemp is not subject to any regulatory tests and it’s sold in packaging that appeals to children. … Intoxicating hemp is dangerous, and we need better to protect our children.”
DeWine declared an emergency in announcing the executive order. He claimed that hemp-based products causing intoxication were adulterated, because hemp, defined as a plant with a THC potency less than 0.3%, is not intended to cause intoxication. Intoxicating hemp products are a risk to health and public safety.
DeWine directed the ODA, among other things, to define hemp. The department then issued draft regulations that defined “intoxicating” hemp as a product containing more than 0.5 mg of THC in each serving, or 2 mg of THC for each package.
Plaintiffs in this case claimed that Governor’s authority to issue emergency rules is in conflict with federal law. Ohio Revised CodeThis law says that adding hemp, or a product made from hemp to another product does not “adulterate” the other product.
USHR, a group of national hemp industry advocates, published a statement on October 14 expressing their support for Aveni’s TRO.
USHR’s General Counsel Jonathan Miller stated that “we are very happy with today’s judge’s ruling and look forward to working together with the Ohio Legislature to create a robust and strong regulatory framework to keep adult hemp products away from children, while also protecting small business owners, farmers and adults who depend on hemp to maintain their own health and wellbeing.”
Ohio’s shops that are selling hemp-derived intoxicants have two more weeks to continue doing business. A judge has issued an interim restraining (TRO) order on October 14, which blocked Gov. Mike DeWine’s Executive Order.
It is important to note that the word “you” means “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.
But not so fast.
Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, Judge Carl A. Aveni, granted the TRO. He also set a preliminary hearing injunction on the 28th of October at 9 a.m. to further review the plaintiffs’ case. You can find out more about this by clicking here. Against the Governor and ODA
Aveni, in the TRO, wrote: “The Court finds that plaintiffs have demonstrated a probable likelihood of winning on the merits.”[The executive order] In doing so, the General Assembly is violating separation of powers. The executive order also attempts, on the surface, to replace the existing statutory framework enacted and approved by the General Assembly that defines hemp, hemp products, and allows for their sale.
The three plaintiffs include Cleveland-based retailer and manufacturer Titan Logistics Group; West Chester-based retailer Fumee Smoke & Vape; and Cincinnati-based manufacturer Invicta Nutraceuticals.
Titan Logistics owner and founder Wesley Bryant claimed in the suit that hemp products accounted for almost 100% of sales and that $150,000 worth of inventory would degrade if not sold within the next thirty days.
Aveni’s order found that the plaintiffs would suffer immediate and irreparable damage if injunctive measures were not granted.
The court also ruled that any harm caused by third parties (such as youths accidentally exposed to chemicals that result in hospital visits) is offset by “the countervailing interest of preserving the constitutional system” and the public interest favours the Legislature exercising its constitutional power over the governor.
Aveni wrote, “The separation is not just a convenience. It is an Ohio Constitutional safeguard.” “The role of the court is to enforce that safeguard rather than to decide policy questions.” According to this principle, it urges the General Assembly, in accordance with its constitutional power, to quickly determine whether comprehensive hemp regulation should include a legislative component.
DeWine shared his thoughts on the matter earlier in October. The article below explains how to get started. When Ohio voters were asked about the hospitalization of middle schoolers in Cincinnati after they consumed THC edibles The following is a list of the most recent and relevant articles. They voiced support for Issue 2, which would legalize cannabis for adult use in 2023.

DeWine declared an emergency in announcing the executive order. He claimed that hemp-based products that are intoxicating have been adulterated, because hemp by definition is non-intoxicating, defined as a plant with a THC potency below 0.3%. Intoxicating hemp products are a risk to health and public safety.
DeWine instructed the ODA in part to issue emergency regulations to redefine hemp. In response, the Department issued draft rules that define “intoxicating hemp”, as any product with more than 0.50 milligrams THC or 2.50 milligrams THC, per serving.
