In Episode 97 of Good Healthy by Claudia, Claudia and Denny Schaffer tackle a critical and time-sensitive issue affecting thousands of Ohio residents: the future of hemp-derived CBD products in the state. Joining the show is Deb Hackathorn, a seasoned public policy expert with deep experience in Ohio legislation and a longtime advocate for the hemp industry through her work with the U.S. Hemp Roundtable. This episode breaks down what’s happening behind the scenes at the Statehouse — and why consumers, retailers, and families should be paying close attention. In this conversation, you’ll learn: The difference between hemp-derived CBD and recreational marijuana What Ohio voters approved in 2019 and 2023 — and how lawmakers changed it How Senate Bill 56 dramatically restricts legal hemp products Why full-spectrum CBD products are being targeted What the new THC limits actually mean for products on store shelves How these changes impact people using CBD for anxiety, pain, sleep, and pet health Why many consumers don’t want to shop at dispensaries The role of lobbying, taxation, and regulatory control in these decisions What a voter referendum is — and how it could stop the law from taking effect The urgent timeline for collecting signatures in Ohio Deb explains how a grassroots effort is underway to put the issue back in the hands of voters — and how, if successful, it could prevent the law from taking effect in March. As always, Claudia emphasizes responsible use, education, and the belief that plants and natural remedies should remain accessible to informed adults, not locked behind politics or profit. 📍 Learn more at Health Foods by Claudia 🗳️ Stay informed about Ohio’s hemp referendum efforts 📅 New episodes every week 🙏 Keep the faith.
