Ohio Senate Committee Approves Changes to Recreational Marijuana Bill, Legalization Imminent

The Ohio Senate committee has approved changes to the recreational marijuana law set to take effect on Thursday, making Ohio the 24th state to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use. The bill includes provisions for home grow, with a limit of 6 plants per home, possession limits of 2.5 ounces for plants and 15 grams for extracts, and a THC content limit of 35 percent. The bill also increases the tax on marijuana products from 10% to 15% and removes the extra tax on cultivators. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is urging the House and Senate to pass the bill and send it to his desk for approval.
