Ohio House Stalls Changes to Marijuana Law, Raising Questions on Legalization
Efforts to make changes to Ohio's Issue 2 marijuana law have stalled in the House, with legislators deliberating over various proposals. The Senate and Governor Mike DeWine have urged the House to act quickly to avoid potential issues arising from the gap between marijuana possession becoming legal and the first state-sanctioned sale. Disagreements between the chambers include the control of tax revenue, tax rates, THC content limits, and home grow provisions. The House is currently deliberating its own Issue 2 reform bill, with no vote expected until mid-to-late January.
