Banning marijuana growing at home, increasing the substance’s tax rate and altering how those taxes get distributed are among vast changes Ohio Senate Republicans proposed Monday to a marijuana legalization measure approved by voters last month.
The changes emerged suddenly in committee just days before the new law is set to take effect, though their fate in the full Senate and the GOP-led House is still unclear.
The ballot measure, dubbed Issue 2, passed on the Nov. 7 election with 57 percent of the vote and it set to become law this Thursday, making Ohio the 24th state to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use. But as a citizen-initiated statute, the Legislature is free to make tweaks on it, of which they’re attempting plenty.
Republicans: NOOOOOO!!!
When Canada legalized pot in 2018 it gave provinces the ability to remove home cultivation from the rules. So Manitoba, Quebec and Nunavut did just that.
We have shit areas just like America does, often led by right-wing nut jobs.
In Nevada, you can only grow weed if you’re 25 or more miles from the nearest dispensary. It’s super clear this law is about protecting profit.
Yup. Gov’ts and BIG marijuana corps must have their pound of flesh.
You Canadians do a bang-up job hiding your conservatives from international news. Most people outside of Canada think all Canadians are lovely people who want to give you a hug, and some maple syrup.
Only one of those things is true. 🤭
I wouldnt want to share my maple syrup either
Its well known canadians pour all their hate into the geese and send them out to the world
HEY!
If you got a problem with Canadian gooses then you gotta problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate!
What should be more well known is the fact that Canada is half the reason we have the Geneva Conventions! Y’all were fucking brutal in WW1.
And say sorry for simply existing.
