Ohio Senate Bill Proposes Legalizing Recreational Marijuana Sales in Medical Shops

The Ohio Senate has passed a bill that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana, following the legalization of recreational marijuana in the state. Governor Mike DeWine supports the bill, stating that it is necessary to implement a safe and legal market and to protect consumers from purchasing marijuana laced with other drugs. The bill also includes provisions for reducing the number of plants allowed per household, protecting possession and THC limits, and providing a path for expungement of past marijuana possession convictions. The bill now awaits a vote in the Ohio House.
