❌ SB266
Regards the sale and testing of intoxicating hemp products
Current Status: In Senate Committee (General Government)
Summary
The bill establishes requirements for the sale and testing of intoxicating hemp products in Ohio. It prohibits selling these products to individuals under 21 years of age, mandates testing compliance for products, and restricts sales of products that are attractive to children. Violations can result in felony or misdemeanor charges depending on the nature of the offense.
Rationale
The bill imposes age restrictions and testing requirements on intoxicating hemp products, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of personal freedom and self-ownership. While it may align with some regulatory aspects of the LPO platform, the overall restrictions on personal choice and market freedom lead to a lower alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation of personal choices
- Potential for criminalization of non-compliance
- Restrictions on market freedom and personal responsibility
