Ohio Senate Passes Bill To Scale Back Voter-Approved Marijuana Legalization Law By Reducing Home Grow And Adding New Penalties
It now heads to the House
The Ohio Senate has approved a bill to make significant changes to the state’s voter-approved marijuana law—by halving the number of plants adults could grow, adding new criminal penalties and removing select social equity provisions, among other revisions.
After the legislation from Sen. Steve Huffman (R) moved through the Senate General Government Committee earlier in the day, the full Senate passed the measure in a 23-9 vote on Wednesday. It now heads to the House.
“Senate Bill 56 is a great bill because it’s reasonable, appropriate, it cuts down on the illicit marijuana market and it’s truly about protection and safety of children,” Huffman said on the floor, adding that “we have never known exactly why the voters voted for the initiated statute.”
