Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Wednesday signed an executive order banning THC-containing beverages, gummies and other "intoxicating hemp."

Retailers in the Buckeye State will be required to remove all gummies, beverages, cookies and other products containing THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) — the main psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant — from shelves by Oct. 14.
