Why OHRA? Because Lawmakers Treat Us Like Criminals.

Lawmakers are coming for legal hemp and no one is pushing back. So we stepped in. The Ohio Hemp Retailers Alliance is here to protect small businesses, defend access to trusted products and make sure lawmakers hear from us not just the big companies.

We Organize When It’s Urgent.
And It’s Always Urgent.

Hemp retailers face constant pressure from unclear laws, sudden bans, and powerful lobbies that want us out of the way - from surprise hearing to quiet rewrite of the rules. If the Statehouse is moving against us, we move faster.

What We’re Fighting For.

What we’re fighting for is simple: fair treatment, clear rules, and a future where hemp stays legal and local businesses can thrive. We’re not asking for special favors. We’re demanding the right to compete, to be heard, and to stay open.

Protection

Shops that follow the law should never be punished by it.

Fair Access

Customers deserve legal, affordable options, not monopoly pricing.

A Voice

Hemp workers, customers, and store owners should be heard, not ignored.

Clear Rules

We want regulation that makes sense. Not chaos that only helps the biggest players.

Did you know?

Ohio’s hemp laws were passed with unanimous support just a few years ago . Now, those same lawmakers are rushing to ban the very products they made legal — with zero care about the public, nor any economic impact study.
