From Farm to Frustration: The Regulatory Stranglehold on Hemp and Adult Use Cannabis
Ohio’s legal landscape around hemp and adult-use cannabis has changed a lot in the past decade. The regulatory, legal, and economic complexities of this industry have created a unique and somewhat perplexing situation. Right now, the Ohio legislature is considering four bills, each aiming to make a different impact on the consumer market.
The 2025 Ohio Public Interest Environmental Law Conference is bringing together leaders and practitioners in law, business, agriculture, and government to discuss the regulation of the hemp and cannabis industry. Hailing from different backgrounds and specialties, this panel aims to discuss the relationship between hemp and recreational cannabis, as well as their implications on environmental law in Ohio.
If you are interested in untangling this web of regulation or want to understand the position of hemp and adult-use cannabis in Ohio, attend the 2025 Ohio Public Interest Environmental Law Conference on September 26th at The Ohio State University!
