Ohio's Marijuana Industry Frustrated by Law Changes and Political Interference

The Ohio Senate has passed changes to the state's marijuana laws, including reducing the number of plants grown per household, lowering THC levels for extracts, eliminating the social equity program, and allowing marijuana sales 90 days after passage. Some individuals involved in Ohio's marijuana industry are divided on the changes, with one group arguing that the changes do not reflect the will of Ohio voters, while another group supports the opening of new licenses to anyone. All parties agree that the increased sales tax on marijuana is excessive and may drive consumers to the black market or neighboring states like Michigan.
