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.
Huh, I’ve got a weird sense of déjà vu
Doubt they’re the same person, I think he copied what the other guy wrote and changed it from politician to republican
What you said though made me laugh my ass off when I saw it
Yeah you’re probably right. In fact I didn’t even notice the difference until after I made the comments lol.
And glad to brighten someone’s day! Hope you have a good rest of your day
Aww, thank you very much, you seem like an awesome person. I hope you have a wonderful day as well!
