The caveats that matter

  • Since Mar 20, 2026 intoxicating hemp (delta-8 gummies, THCA flower, THC beverages) is banned at gas stations/smoke shops/convenience stores — dispensary channel only
  • DeWine's Oct 8, 2025 quarantine executive order was blocked by a TRO; SB 56 then mooted the fight by statute
  • The 5 mg THC-beverage carve-out was line-item vetoed, so beverages are dispensary-only too

Enforcement, in practice

Division of Cannabis Control enforces; the pre-SB 56 TRO era is over and unlicensed intoxicating-hemp retail is being cleared.

Last checked 2026-08-06 — laws change. This is decision support, not legal advice.
