Day 1 🕑 1:00 PM – 1:45 PM 📍 Main Stage

Ohio's cannabis market is being actively reshaped by legislation, with SB 56 introducing changes that impact product availability, potency limits, and how cannabis is sold. This session focuses on what is happening right now at the state level, including how the ban on intoxicating hemp products, new potency caps, and evolving policy decisions are influencing operations in real time. Attendees will take away: key legislative changes under SB 56 and how they impact operations today; how the hemp ban is shifting demand into licensed dispensaries; what new potency caps and product restrictions mean for product development and sales; where state-level decisions and local control create friction or opportunity; and what to watch as Ohio's regulatory framework evolves.
