“The poisoning hemp does not require the necessary tests … and selling children in attractive packages.”

Megan Henry, by Ohio Capital Journal

Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine (r) has been an executive 90-day executive order for banning sale of crusemen poisoning products from next Tuesday.

Intoxizing kalamu products, elements that are not dispensed by the licensed marijuana, such as gas stations, smoke shops and CBD stores, among others. This ban includes drinks inhabited.

“I’m doing the action today … to get these products out of the streets and get rid of our shelves,” Dewine said on Wednesday at the press conference. “The poisoning hemp is dangerous and we need to better protect our children … that’s what we think to do that.”

The 90-day executive order ends on January 12, 2026, which is then legislators if you want to see more actions to the hemp intoxicating.

“I won’t tell you what to do, but we need to have a little control of this product,” Dewine said. “We can’t afford to do not legal people to sell to children.”

These stores that violate the executive store could be a fine of $ 500 per day on the shelves of hemp products per day.

The 2018 farm invoice says that Kalamua can be grown legally if less than 0.3 percent.

“After these laws, the chemists began the manipulative compounds in the legal halmid plant, including these compounds intoxikers, including Delta-8 and Delta-9,” DeWine said “It’s completely different product”.

Marijuana is not a hemp intoxicating product and is legal at Ohio.

Dewine has called legislators to regulate or prohibit delta-8 products since January 2024. He said before he could not sign the executive command about the hemp.

“We think we have authority to do this, and I will not sit and I will not,” Dewine explained how he returned to his lawyers.

It was previously reported by an Ohio Kalamu product regulations with 20 states, according to Ohio State University Drug Implementing and Policy Center studies in November 2024.

In January 2024, he reported at least 257 Delta-8’s intoxications in recent years, according to children under 102 and under 40, according to Ohio Poison Control Center.

“Hemp Products Intoxicating, such as Delta-8, has risen significantly to the unexpected number of reasons among children,” Dr. Hannah Hays, General Manager of Ohio Poison Central and toxic toxic toxic.

Children who swallow intoxicating hemp products can be severity, hallucination, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures and respiratory failure, Hays said.

“I don’t want to sell the product to children,” Dewine said. “I think the risk of our children is clear, and today I am taking action to protect children from Ohio. These kids are now weak in the presence of candy products for sale in Ohio State.”

DeWine had three products from Hourlytrically, at the Wednesday press conference, Stoner Patch Dummies (similar to Patch Sour Bears), Nerds Gummy Cluster), and infused gums similar to).

“With the poisoning hemp, this product does not have any restrictions where it can be sold or who can buy,” Dewine said. “The poisoning hemp does not require necessary tests … and selling in packages attracted to children, often imitates the containers of common candy.”

Nerdy Bear Gummy Bear has more than 100 milligrams thc, depending on the vessels.

“For context, adult products will be 10 milligrams per serving,” Dewine said. “It’s certainly easy to see how a child will mix this product with real candy and eat some warriors and ask hospitalization.”

Ohio cannabis coalition praised Dewine’s executive order.

“For a long time, the Hemp Industry has heard the farm invoice to align the health damage to Ohio’s health,” Ohcann David Executive Director of Executive Director. “To date, without regaining synthetic synthetic synthetic zucchini, consumers, especially children, jeopardizing.”

The hemp industry, however, spoke quickly against Dewine’s executive order.

“Thanks to the Executive DeWine Commission, Ohio will lose access to safe and legal products and Michael Tindall’s executive director said to small businesses of Ohio.

He said there are more than 2,000 smoke and hemp shops, and there are more than 4,000 outlets throughout Ohio, who sell hemp products.

Dewine’s command is “wrong abuse”, “Jonathan Miller said, the general advice of the US hemp-table.

“We are futraud to avoid the governor who is trying to avoid the legislature of Ohio and avoid corrective powers in crushing the state hemp industry, to kill the work,” Miller said in a statement. “Instead of the ban, Ohio should follow the limits of minor age, promising independent third-party tests, requiring detailed labeling and ensuring products with American hemp.”

The American Republic Politics Dakota Sawyer agrees that hemp products should not be in children, but Dewin said they agree with the approach to prohibiting all products.

“We should go after the bad actors, but don’t punish good actors,” he said. “This executive order will be turned down (good actors) down. This will leave them out of business. People will not be able to put food on their plates for families.”

State Republic. Tex Fischer, R-Boardman, said the executive promise is supervising.

“I think the legislature work is legislative,” he said. “I don’t think it’s legalizing the governor’s job.”

Intoxication of hemp bills

There is a handful Invoices in the legislature that would regulate hemp intoxication Products in different ways.

Ohio Senate Bill 266 The sale of hemp products would prohibit people under the age of 21. Marijuana is to prohibit sale of hemp products that have not been tested in the same rules and prevent children with attractive hemp products.

Ohio Senate 86 bill Sales of Kalamu products would prohibit prohibit under the age of 21, imposing 10% tax to hemp products and Regulate cannabinoid products.

The invoice would require crusher products to sell adult use only in marijuana dispensaries, in CBD stores, comfort stores, smoking stores or gas stations instead of selling. Kalamu products would require intoxicating products if products are tested and packaged, labeling and complying with advertising standards.

Ohio Senate 56 bill The marijuana dispensary would allow only to sell package, labeling and advertising requirements. This year the invoice passed in the Senate would also change parts of the State Marijuana law.

Ohio House bill 160 mostly treats Potential changes in state marijuana lawsBut it is also a intoxicating Hamp supply, each Thc product can only be sold in the Dispensaries of the Regulated Marijuana of Ohio.

Marijuana Has ‘Horrific Health Risks’ And No Medical Value, Former Trump Attorney General Claims

A former US attorney general who served in President Donald Trump’s first term says marijuana poses “tremendous health risks,” has no medical value and should not be rescheduled under federal law.

“Marijuana redistricting would create a false impression that it is safe, reduce penalties for illegally selling the drug, and provide a large tax windfall to those who legally supply it,” William Barr wrote in a Wednesday op-ed for The Washington Post, Kevin Sabet, CEO of the prohibitionist organization Smart Approaches to Marijuana. “That would be a disaster.”

The opinion comes as the Trump administration moves forward with cannabis reregulation.

According to an order issued in April by US Attorney General Todd Blanche, Marijuana products regulated by a state medical cannabis license were immediately changed from Schedule I As did marijuana products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

an administrator The hearing is looking at the broader rescheduling of marijuanawith The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been tasked with advocating for cannabis reform highlighting the testimony about the medical benefits of marijuana and its relative safety compared to other substances such as alcohol and opioids. It included appearances by a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientist and a doctor from New Hampshire. Medical marijuana provides relief to pain patients and can serve as an alternative to opioids.

But Sabet and Barr, who served as Trump’s attorney general from 2019-2020, argued that “the evidence presented at the hearing did not support the rescheduling of marijuana” and instead “confirmed what decades of data have shown: raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and is highly susceptible to abuse.”

After the parties to the hearing have filed termination rights, the DEA administrative law judge overseeing the proceedings will make a recommendation regarding rescheduling, and the agency administrator will make a final decision.

DEA Administrator Terrance Cole only organizations and individuals opposed to marijuana reform have been invited to the hearing as a designated participant – telling supporters that they do not meet the definition of “interested person” to participate because they have not been “affected or prejudiced by any rule or proposed rule that may be issued.”

The former attorney general’s new opinion says “the stakes couldn’t be higher”, arguing that “marijuana today is more dangerous than ever” and that it is “addictive”, throwing out a list of alleged harm to mental and physical health.

“These unhealthy effects are a predictable result of a powerful and addictive drug being normalized, commercialized and marketed as a medicine,” Barr and Sabet say. “It would be one thing if marijuana had medical value. But there is no credible evidence that marijuana is an effective treatment for any medical condition, despite the millions of dollars spent trying to prove otherwise.”

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a 252 analysis in 2023 that concluded that marijuana had accepted medical value and should be rescheduled.

The new opposition piece also says that “rescheduling would unlock enormous revenue for the corporate marijuana industry by bringing it into a category that has not been covered by a longstanding reduction in federal drug tax deductions,” referring to a law known as 280E, which repeals Sections I and II.

“This, in turn, would allow the industry to spend even more on advertising and marketing to young people,” Barr and Sabet. he wroteArguing that “those who would lose this dragon in society are laying the foundations for another Big Tobacco”.

The Sabet organization, SAM, is one of several parties Challenging the Marijuana Redistricting Process which have been upheld by a federal Court of Appeals. those separate parts State attorneys general have filed lawsuits against cannabis reform, Opponents of marijuana legalization and a a cannabis-based biopharmaceutical corporation.

SAM’s lawsuit was signed by attorneys at Torridon Law PLLC, where Barr is a partner.

The team announced in January that it was Hiring Barr’s firm to fight cannabis rescheduling After Trump signed an executive order directing officials to quickly complete the process.

During the first Trump administration, Barr was accused by a Justice Department official Directing improper anti-company investigations into multiple cannabis company mergers– Accounting for almost a third of the division’s cases in 2019.

Several Democratic members of Congress introduced a resolution calling for an investigation into Barr’s possible impeachment, saying “abused the power of his office” to improperly investigate marijuana businesses while engaging in other allegedly illegal conduct.

How much red light does cannabis really need?

Published

3 weeks ago

on

July 26, 2026

By

When growers pull out two LED fixtures side by side, the first number they usually discuss is percent red. This is an easy specification to fix. They are efficient at producing red photons and incredibly efficient at photosynthesis, and cannabis eats away at the flower. So more red must be better, right?

Not so simple. Red is an input to a spectrum, and the spectrum is an input to a room. There is no single spectrum that wins everywhere. An indoor room pushes hard, a greenhouse that soaks up sunlight, a temperamental cultivar, and aggressive yields call for something different. Knowing what each light strip actually does allows you to choose a tool that fits your grow instead of one that just has a big number on the sales page.

Blue: structure
Blue (approximately 400-500 nm) gives shape to the plant. It maintains dense growth, strong stems, tight internodes and allows it to develop as desired. It also encourages stomatal opening, so the plant manages water and gas exchange better. Get blue and you’ve built a plant that can carry heavy flowers with no problem.

Green: access
Green was eliminated as the wavelength is “reflected” by plants. It turns out that it does a real job. Blue and red are absorbed above; the green goes deep into the fat and reaches the leaves that are never touched by the above photons. In a compact room, it’s the difference between plants photosynthesising from the top down and those that work only from the top. Green won’t replace your red or blue, but it does carry usable light where they can’t reach.

Red: engine
Red is the horse of the flower. It absorbs as efficiently as anything in the spectrum, and is responsible for most of the biomass you’re after. Redder generally means faster flower development, more weight and better efficiency per watt.

But red has a ceiling, and it’s tied to what you run. Push PPFD upwards with a heavy red spectrum and some cultivars begin to whiten at the top: the flower should be dense with pale, washed tips. Genetics, intensity, barrel temperature and your general environment all feed into it. If you’re using aggressive light levels, a lower red spectrum will buy you room before that becomes a problem, leaving you almost no photosynthetic punch to get it.

Far Red: More than Emerson
Far-red (700-750 nm) appears in more devices every year. It contributes little to photosynthesis on its own, but it moves plant morphology and works with red through the Emerson Enhancement Effect. Used properly, it helps to deepen the light, encourage uniformity of the canopy and encourage the response of the bloom. The key word is small. A touch of far red rounds out a spectrum; he’s not there to make a show.

Matching the red percentage with the room
Cannabis addresses the entire spectrum, not a line on a spec sheet. Reds cause flowers, but blues, greens and crimsons give the plant something it needs. Where you land in red refers to how you grow.

A lower red spectrum (30-40%) captures more blue and green, gives you better morphology, reduces the risk of photobleaching, and holds up when you’re running extreme PPFD. Moderate spectrum (40-55%) is the sweet spot in commercial greenhouses: strong photosynthetic efficiency, strong flowering, balanced growth. A high-red spectrum (70%+) makes the most sense in a greenhouse, where the sun is already giving you lots of blue and green and your supplemental light can cast effective red to fill the gap.

Where does the ETS MAX series fit in?
This is the thinking behind the JumpLights ETS MAX series. Instead of forcing a spectrum into each room, it rarely comes up because a greenhouse and a high PPFD indoor flower room are not the same problem.

  • ETS MAX 4C41% red: for indoor rooms operating at very high intensity, where photobleaching is a real risk. The wider, red bottom balance allows you to push the tops without overcooking them
  • ETS MAX 4A48% red: balanced internal spectrum that maintains high output while controlling bleaching.
  • ETS MAX 5B57% Red: A high-performance indoor option. Moderate red, marked with efficiency and flower at the same time, up to 3,450 μmol/s, with efficiency that holds the spectrum.
  • ETS MAX 7A76% red: built for the greenhouse. The sun already supplies blue and green, so this leans heavily on the complementary red, up to 3,900 μmol/s in the infrastructure most greenhouses already have in place.

Bottom line
Choosing an activity is not a competition for the highest red number. The winning spectrum is the one that matches your environment, your intensity, your genetics, and what you’re trying to produce. Combine spectrum, intensity, environmental control, light distribution and genetics, and you’ve got a lighting strategy. Keep a spec isolated and all you’ve got is a bright room.

The ETS MAX line was created around this idea: choose the spectrum of the room you actually have, indoor or greenhouse, and let the device work with your grow rather than against it.
