Ohio, USA hemp laws: quick overview
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 928 was amended by Senate Bill 56 (136th General Assembly), effective March 20 2026. Section 928.01 defines hemp as Cannabis sativa L. and derivatives with total THC (including THCA) ≤ 0.3 % dry weight, and excludes any final hemp‑derived cannabinoid product containing synthesized cannabinoids or more than 0.4 mg total THC per container from the hemp definition ([codes.ohio.gov](https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/chapter-928?utm_source=openai)). Products exceeding either threshold are classified as marijuana under Ohio law (Ohio Rev. Code § 3719.01) and must be sold only through licensed dispensaries ([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/is-delta-8-thc-legal-in-ohio-ohio-hemp-laws/?utm_source=openai)). The law also empowers the superintendent of cannabis control to list naturally occurring cannabinoids versus synthesized ones under § 928.031, with rulemaking to follow ([codes.ohio.gov](https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/chapter-928?utm_source=openai)).
Shipping guidance
Inbound shipments of intoxicating hemp products (i.e., those exceeding 0.4 mg total THC per container or containing synthesized cannabinoids) are prohibited unless destined for a DCC‑licensed dispensary. Non‑intoxicating hemp products under the thresholds may be shipped under the Ohio Department of Agriculture hemp program. Age verification and retailer registration requirements apply only within the dispensary system.
Testing & COA guidance
Ohio requires testing using post‑decarboxylation or equivalent methods to determine total Δ9‑THC (THCA × 0.877 + Δ9‑THC) as per § 928.03 rulemaking ([codes.ohio.gov](https://codes.ohio.gov/assets/laws/revised-code/authenticated/9/928/928.03/9-30-2025/928.03-9-30-2025.pdf?utm_source=openai)). Labs must issue Certificates of Analysis demonstrating compliance with both the 0.3 % dry‑weight and 0.4 mg/container limits. COA retention and ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation are expected under ODA rules, though not explicitly confirmed—status: null.
What to buy
Legal products include non‑intoxicating hemp‑derived CBD oils, topicals, tinctures, capsules, and other forms that stay under both the 0.3 % Δ9‑THC dry‑weight and 0.4 mg total THC per container thresholds.
What to avoid
Avoid delta‑8, delta‑10, HHC, THCa flower, hemp‑derived edibles, beverages, vapes, or any product exceeding 0.4 mg total THC per container or containing synthesized cannabinoids—these are banned outside licensed dispensaries.
