Verified October 22, 2026 (hash check) · confidence: confirmedHemp biomass/extract intended for further manufacture by a licensed processor is governed by the 0.3% total THC dry-weight cultivation/processing threshold (ORC 928.01(C), 928.02 licensure) rather than the 0.4 mg/container retail-product cap, which applies to 'final' and end-user-marketed 'intermediate' products. Ohio's post-SB56 framework (effective 3/20/2026) is structurally similar to New Jersey's: a hard, very low milligram-per-container total-THC ceiling (0.4 mg) determines whether a hemp-derived product remains general-retail 'hemp' or is reclassified as 'marijuana' requiring sale through one of a statutorily capped 400 licensed dispensaries statewide to adults 21+. Because typical commercial delta-9 THC dosing (single-digit milligrams per serving) vastly exceeds 0.4 mg per container, nearly all dosed hemp-derived delta-9 THC consumables and inhalables fall into the dispensary-only marijuana channel; only very-low-dose topicals and unprocessed/undosed raw material realistically stay under the retail hemp cap.
