Legal hemp isn’t just a trend. It’s part of daily life for thousands of Ohioans. It helps people sleep better, manage stress, recover from pain, and stay off things that could do real harm.
Walk into any hemp shop in this state and you’ll meet veterans, nurses, parents, retired folks, and working people looking for something that works. These aren’t fringe users. They’re your neighbors. And they’re finding relief through products that are legal, tested, and safe.
Hemp is also a business. A real one. There are over 12,000 hemp retailers across the country. In Ohio, they bring jobs, support local economies, and fill storefronts in communities that need it. They follow the rules. They pay their way. They serve people the healthcare system often overlooks.
And when hemp stores succeed, so do the towns around them. Rent gets paid. Workers get hired. Customers keep coming back. Local dollars stay local.
That’s what makes the attack on legal hemp so backwards. We’re not talking about a broken system. We’re talking about one that works — for small business, for public health, and for everyday people.
So when you hear lawmakers talk about bans and restrictions, ask what we lose in the process. Because legal hemp isn’t a loophole. It’s a lifeline.
