COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Court documents in Franklin County reveal that three companies have sued Gov. Mike DeWine just days after he signed an executive order to remove intoxicating hemp products from stores.
Fumee Smoke and Vape, Invicta Nutraceuticals, and Titan Logistics Group have filed a civil suit against DeWine and the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
DeWine ordered Ohio stores to remove these products from their shelves by Tuesday. The order is in effect for 90 days, at which point the General Assembly can decide whether or not to extend it. The order does not apply to non-intoxicating hemp products or marijuana.
All three companies sell vapor products, many of which are made from hemp and claim that once the ban enacts on Oct. 14, it will hurt its sales and force their businesses to close.
Columbus police looking for suspect in connection with I-270 shootingThey claim in the lawsuit that DeWine's conduct is "unlawful" and state that there is "no evidence hemp products pose an imminent threat to public health." The suit says a temporary restraining order was requested to prohibit the executive order from going into effect.
Lawmakers have considered changes to intoxicating hemp for some time, but efforts have repeatedly stalled. The governor said the marijuana law passed by voters set up a highly regulated market with rigorous testing and packaging that doesn’t target children, which does not apply to intoxicating hemp.
Intoxicating hemp can be sold to any age and the products are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
