RED ALERT FOR H**P IN OHIO!

Ohio lawmakers are advancing HB 160, a bill that would reclassify most h**p products as ma*****na, banning their sale in retail stores and forcing them into the state’s limited dispensary system. This threatens access for adult consumers and puts Ohio h**p businesses at serious risk.

There is a better path forward. HB 198 would preserve retail access to h**p products while adding meaningful regulations like age restrictions, third-party testing, and clear labeling requirements.

Take action now. If you live or operate in Ohio, use our State Action Center to urge legislators to oppose HB 160 and support HB 198. It only takes 20 seconds.
