“For Ohio lawmakers concerned about the legality of restricting intoxicating h**p products, (the Bio Gen) decision — along with others recently issued — should offer reassurance,” said Luis Alcade, a cannabis attorney and director with law firm Kegler Brown Hill + Ritter. “Of course, the h**p industry has its own lobbying efforts and will continue to advocate for its interests. But I believe the tide is turning, and regulatory action is likely on the horizon.”
Some recent court decisions have advocates for policies restricting the sale and availability of intoxicating h**p products, including every stakeholder in the state’s licensed ma*****na industry, encouraged that legislation could be passed sooner than later.
