In August last year, the agency put a rule in place that outlawed the manufacturing, processing, distribution and retail sale of smokable hemp products, potentially cutting off those who prefer to smoke cannabis buds to obtain CBD, a component of cannabis used for its reported health benefits. Days later, several hemp companies filed a lawsuit claiming the ban is unlawful. The ban has been tangled in district court ever since.
Initially, CBD stores and smoke shops adapted, selling “consumable hemp products. While the products were possible to smoke, they were not labeled as being for smoking. (The ban didn t directly affect others forms of CBD delivery like oils and edibles.)

When Nate Shiffman moved to Summit County four years ago, he felt like he had a perfect place to live but wasn’t sure if he’d be able to stay. That changed for him when he discovered Backcountry Bayit, an online Jewish community centered in Summit County.
For him, finding the bayit, a Hebrew word that means house or home, was “the last piece of the puzzle where I really felt at home.”
“I’m so glad I’ve found this place and can’t imagine living anywhere else,” Shiffman said.
