Delta 8 THC is a cannabinoid compound found in the hemp plant that is quickly expanding in popularity nationwide with promising applications, both medically and recreationally. While Delta 8 THC might feature familiar properties to the main chemical found in marijuana, Delta 9 THC, it has completely different effects and generally less potency.
Now you ask, is Delta 8 THC legal in Ohio?

As of today (09/17/2021), Delta 8 THC is legal according to Ohio state law. Like the federal law, Ohio has legalized all derivatives, cannabinoids, and isomers of hemp including all tetrahydrocannabinols other than Delta 9 THC.
Here are the laws:
(3) Hemp, as defined in section 928.01 of the Revised Code. Ohio Revised Code » Title [9] IX AGRICULTURE – ANIMALS – FENCES » Chapter 928: Hemp and Hemp Products
(C) “Hemp” means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than three-tenths percent on a dry weight basis.
(27) Tetrahydrocannabinols (synthetic equivalents of the substances contained in the plant, or in the resinous extractives of Cannabis, sp. and/or synthetic substances, derivatives, and their isomers with similar chemical structure and pharmacological activity such as the following: delta-1-cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers; delta-6-cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and their optical isomers; delta-3,4-cis or trans tetrahydrocannabinol, and its optical isomers. (Since nomenclature of these substances is not internationally standardized, compounds of these structures, regardless of numerical designation of atomic positions, are covered.)), excluding tetrahydrocannabinols found in “hemp” and “hemp products” as those terms are defined in section 928.01 of the Revised Code.
Under SB 3 as of July 1st 2020, even though possession of cannabis will still be illegal in Ohio, those caught with up to 200 grams of marijuana, just about 7 ounces, will face no arrest or jail time, instead a civil citation and a fine of $150. The bill also states that these citations for possession would not be put on one's criminal record or need to be reported with “any inquiries contained in any application for employment, license, or other right or privilege.”

Legalization activists are current working to put recreational marijuana legalization on Ohio’s ballot this year, so stay tuned!
Absolutely! You can buy Delta 8, along with other hemp products in Ohio. At the end of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill made hemp federally legal. Since then, Ohio has implemented similar hemp laws, which have allowed the sale of hemp products and hemp cultivation. As of September 17, 2021, Delta 8 and all other derivatives of hemp are legal in OH.
Keep in mind, there are no concentration limits on Delta-8 THC or CBD, but there is on Delta-9. According to Ohio law, a hemp product cannot exceed a 0.3% Delta 9 concentration on a dry weight basis.
