Ohio Republicans Push for Sweeping Changes to Legalized Weed, Including Tax Increases and Home Grow Restrictions
Ohio Senate Republicans are proposing major changes to the recently approved recreational weed laws in Ohio, including eliminating the ability for individuals to grow their own marijuana at home, increasing the tax rate from 10% to 15% and redirecting the funds to the state's general fund for law enforcement training, restricting the THC potency of plants to 50% and extracts to 25%, implementing new rules on sales and advertising to protect children, and prohibiting dispensaries within 500 feet of schools, libraries, churches, or public parks.
