AND our state economy. Our amendment restores the rights to Ohio farmers to grow hemp as was done for centuries prior to prohibition. From Section 1 (H) of our Ohio Cannabis Rights Amendment "(H) Residents of the State of Ohio, deemed eligible by the Ohio Department of Agriculture under Section 3(E), shall have the right to produce and sell non-psychoactive Cannabis, also known as hemp, for industrial use including, but not limited to, paper, fuel, foods, building materials and clothing. With this right, Cannabis for industrial use is hereby removed from any schedule or classification system in the State of Ohio wherein it is listed as a drug." ofbf.org/education-and-reference/faq/
