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

The Ohio Senate has passed a major overhaul of the recreational marijuana law approved by voters last month, sparking controversy among those already involved in the state's marijuana industry. The changes include reducing the number of plants grown per household, lowering THC levels for extracts, eliminating the social equity program, and allowing marijuana sales to begin 90 days after passage. The Senate also increased the sales tax on marijuana, which industry insiders argue will drive consumers to the black market or neighboring Michigan.
