Ohio Republicans are intent on revising the state cannabis laws with the latest twist from a House Republican. Statehouse News Bureau reported that Rep. Brian Stewart (R-Ashville) introduced HB160 which not only changes the existing adult-use cannabis law but also addresses intoxicating hemp or Delta-8 products.

Green Market Report reported at the end of February that the Ohio State Senate took a major step towards rolling back the voter-approved adult-use marijuana law that won at the ballot box in 2023. The approval of Senate Bill 56, was headed to the GOP-controlled House of Representatives for consideration.

Stewart said, “House Bill 160 respects the will of the voters by preserving the core, adult-use marijuana features of Issue 2 while adding reasonable protections for Ohio children and addressing intoxicating hemp products that violate the spirit of that ballot initiative.” HB 160 proposes to limit the sale of intoxicating hemp products to only licensed dispensaries.

He said his Bill would accomplish the following:

• Combining the marijuana adult use and medicinal use provisions in the same section of the Ohio Revised Code
• Clarifying the adult personal use of marijuana on residential parcels, rather than just inside a residence
• Permitting the sale of pre-rolled products
• Maintaining home-grow allowances in current law but prohibiting the cultivation of home-grown marijuana in halfway homes and recovery houses
• Eliminating the cannabis social equity and jobs fund and program
• Enhancing protections to ensure adult-use products do not provide false or misleading advertising or target products toward children
• Reducing THC potency levels for marijuana to 70% for extracts as other legalization states have done while maintaining the 35% threshold for plant material
• Continuing to permit an employer to prohibit the use of marijuana and make appropriate employment actions based on an employee’s use, possession, or distribution of marijuana

In addition to those changes, the bill also allows expungement for people convicted of or pled guilty to a cannabis possession offense. Similar to the Senate Bill, HB 160 would keep the tax rate at 10%, however, it does want the taxes collected to go to the General Revenue Fund (GRF), with 20% of receipts dedicated for the first four years to local governments that permit adult-use dispensaries to operate within their jurisdiction.

“Our tax policy should incentivize Ohioans to buy affordable, regulated, state-grown marijuana rather than pushing them to the black market, or even worse yet, to Michigan,” Stewart said to the Statehouse News Bureau.

The Bill was just introduced on March 6 and will need to be assigned to a committee for vetting.
