Ohio Lawmakers Clash Over Marijuana Legislation, Threatening Access and Quality
The Ohio Senate Republicans are proposing significant changes to recreational marijuana policy, including reducing possession limits, limiting THC levels, and raising taxes. However, the Ohio House is pushing back in a bipartisan manner, arguing that the will of the voters must be respected. The House version of the bill adds safeguards and guidelines on advertising, public smoking bans, and local government involvement. The Senate version eliminates home grow and redirects tax revenue. The two chambers are currently working to reach a compromise.
