Ohio Senate Republicans Disrespect Voters with Rushed Changes to Recreational Marijuana Law

Ohio Senate Republicans are planning to make significant changes to the recently approved recreational marijuana law, including eliminating home growing, reducing THC limits, increasing taxes, restricting dispensary locations, and removing provisions for those previously convicted of marijuana offenses. These changes go against the wishes of Ohio voters and could drive residents to neighboring states or the black market. The bill, known as HB 86, is set to be passed by the Senate this week, but it still needs approval from the House and Governor Mike DeWine. The ongoing debate highlights the tension between lawmakers and voters, and the need for legislation to align with the will of the people.
