With hemp and its derivatives finally legal in Ohio, Scott Raybuck estimates his already-growing CBD company is poised for a breakout, in his home state particularly.
Businesses selling CBD products either cleared their shelves or risked being raided, which happened in a few instances in places like Cincinnati. Farmers interested in hemp crops couldn't plant it. Aspiring processors certainly couldn't process it. And researchers couldn't study it. Ohio was left behind while other states moved ahead in the hemp business. According to a statement by Jonathan Miller, general counsel for the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, Ohio is the 47th state to legalize hemp.
