Ohio Senate Passes Bill to Amend Recreational Marijuana Laws

The Ohio Senate has approved a bill with revisions to the new legal recreational marijuana law in Ohio, which is set to take effect on December 7. The bill, which still needs to be cleared by the House, would allow medical dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana, limit the number of plants individuals can grow at home to six, impose a 15% tax on marijuana sales, and create a process to expunge marijuana possession charges. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine supports the bill, stating that it aims to limit black market purchases and maximize tax benefits for the state.
