Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) wants the state to either ban or regulate delta-8 THC products.
But since there’s nothing he can do administratively, he is urging lawmakers to do something in regards to intoxicating hemp products like delta-8.
“I would be very happy to have a ban,” DeWine said during a press conference, holding up packages of delta-8—one resembling Frosted Flakes, another looking like Cocoa Puffs and a third that looks like Trolli candy.
“It’s up to the legislature. If it is moved basically under the marijuana protocol, you wouldn’t see packaging like that…and I would be satisfied with that.”
Seventeen states have banned delta-8 and seven more have restrictions around it, according to the National Cannabis Industry Association.
