0.4 mg total THC per package (mg per container)

What the record says

Ohio’s ORC 928.01(C)(4), as amended by SB 56 effective March 20, 2026, provides that hemp does not include any final hemp-derived cannabinoid product containing more than four-tenths of a milligram of total tetrahydrocannabinols per container, including THCA. A proposed carve-out for 5 milligram THC beverages was line-item vetoed by the Governor, so a beverage over 0.4 milligrams per container is marijuana sellable only to adults 21 and over through licensed dispensaries. Retail sale of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC beverages in Ohio is restricted, and the 0.4 milligram cap is effectively prohibitive for a dosed beverage at general retail.

Controlling language, verbatim

"Hemp" does not include ... Any final hemp-derived cannabinoid product containing ... Greater than four-tenths of a milligram combined total per container of total tetrahydrocannabinols, including tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, and any other cannabinoids that have similar effects ... as a tetrahydrocannabinol as established by the superintendent of cannabis control.
