Alert issued for cannabis gummies sold locally
(WKBN) — The Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) is issuing a product alert on one lot ofcannabis-infused edible gummies sold across the state, including here in the Valley.
The alert is for 'Strawberry Banana Local Edibles Ohio Cannabis Infused Gummy' processed by Farmaceutical RX, LLC, under the Local Edibles Ohio brand with purchase dates of Feb. 18 through March 12, 2025.
The local dispensaries where the product was sold include B Cubed Operations Ohio, otherwise known as the ACA Dispensary, in Hubbard; and FARMACEUTICALRX LLC in East Liverpool. For a full list of impacted dispensaries that sold the product, click here.
The reason for the alert is that the processor used an ingredient not disclosed on the product label: edible glitter.
Additionally, the processor was unable to provide evidence that the ingredient wasobtained from a licensed and regulated source, according to DCC.
While the presence of the edible glitter 'does not reasonable constitute a health hazard,' only an alert was issued in place of a full product recall.
Farmaceutical RX has pulled all affected product off of dispensary shelves. The DCC recommends that patients and consumers refrain from consuming the affected product, and either throw away the remainder or return it to the dispensary it was purchased from for refund.

Local jail awarded grant to help inmates with addiction treatment
(WKBN) — The Mahoning County jail was named one of 13 recipients across the state and is set to receive $200,000 to help sheriffs prioritize addiction treatment for inmates, Attorney General Dave Yost announced Tuesday. This batch of grants, awarded to 13 jails serving a combined 18 counties, expands the program's reach to 26 counties statewide. With the latest payments, the total amount awarded since Yost announced the grants in March stands at more than $3.5 million. Previously, Trumbull County was awarded $250,000 in the same program. 'Each time I tour a jail with a sheriff who has received a grant, I am encouraged to hear how this funding is going to make a real difference in the fight against addiction,' Yost said. 'Although a jail is no substitute for a rehab center, these grants will aid recovery and support better outcomes for inmates struggling with substance abuse.' In all, Yost's office is offering $60 million in opioid settlement money over the next several years, with the goal of reducing fatal overdoses in Ohio's jails. The attorney general's Opioid Remediation Grant Program is awarding county jails up to $200,000 per year to hire a full-time addiction-services coordinator or contract with a company that provides such services to treat opioid and other addictions, helping inmates through detox and recovery. Additionally, any county that operates a jail can apply for a $50,000 grant to fund medications and supplies for inmates experiencing opioid withdrawal. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
