Legalization of intoxicating hemp is a bad idea for Ohio

When the Ohio House gutted and hijacked S.B. 56, it was with the intent of legalizing intoxicating hemp products in Ohio. Intoxicating hemp products have been showing up on the shelves in Ohio stores since the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill which authorized the farm and industrial use of hemp products. Exploiting a loophole in the federal law, manufacturers of intoxicating hemp products began selling them in Ohio and other states. So as to not be confused, this has nothing to do with the passage of Issue 2 - the legalization of marijuana in 2023.

These products that Governor DeWine highlighted in his press release on banning the products from the shelves in his Executive Order three weeks ago, are being sold in your corner store and small grocers around the State of Ohio. Many people are shocked to learn about the accessibility of these products outside of the 400 marijuana dispensaries. These products are a danger to children. The poison hotline has had a 500% increase since 2023. Shockingly, the bill passed the Ohio House by a large margin. The Ohio Senate, furious with the action of the House, soundly voted it down. It now heads to conference committee. To learn more, here is an interview with Trent Woloveck, who discusses intoxicating hemp and soon will be filing a lawsuit in the State of Ohio.

Legislative Alert- H.B. 455 Must Be Stopped to Save American Government and American History

LEGISLATIVE ALERT - H.B. 455 Seeks to Eliminate American Government and American History in the Ohio Classroom by eliminating the end of course exam requirement. ALERT: The bill received sponsor testimony on Tuesday in the Ohio House Education Committee. It is already up for a proponent testimony on Tuesday. They are fast-tracking this bill. This is the liberal teachers union's fourth attempt over the past seven years to eliminate the Founding of America Documents Curriculum that was passed into law in 2012 and is now in its thirteenth year of implementation in Ohio schools from the 8th - 12th grade. Our students are required to learn one-half credit hour of American Government and one-half credit hour of American History with an end of course exam. The exam requirement is the guarantee that it will be taught in all of Ohio's 88 school districts. We are watchmen on the wall. Let's safeguard the teaching of American Government and American History in Ohio's schools. WE NEED YOU TO TAKE ACTION. CALL AND EMAIL MEMBERS OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND YOUR STATE REP AND TELL THEM NO ON H.B. 455.
