Bears01 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/ohio-senate-republicans-propose-banning-home-grown-marijuana-and-other-changes-to-legal-marijuana GOP senate Majority leader Matt Huffman (a man who fought tooth and nail against the ballot initiative) wants to raise taxes, eliminate homegrow, and lower the threshold of legal amount (from 2.5 Ozs to exactly 1 OZ). According to republicans, it is simply because “voters had no idea what they were voting for”, even though the measure passed 57-43 and won largely because of support in trump/GOP strongholds. They have until December 7th to act before the entire law goes into effect, and has to pass the House where it’s expected to be more difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year of Shadow Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 “voters had no idea what they were voting for” How democratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proseductice Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Except we've been petitioning for years to even get marijuana on the ballot in the first place, so what now. Hope their effort fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spree Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 as if eliminating homegrow is going to eliminate homegrowing. He just wants all the money for himself. Hope it backfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberries Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Sounds like the Ohio House is fighting back. And it's bipartisan. I doubt these changes stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If U Seek Amy Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Ohio has noticed this and has not been happy. I honestly don't think it is exactly going to swing any elections except for close ones if they go through with it at best. But people are pissed. No one is really going to do anything here though. They will complain about Republicans and vote them in again anyway so they get what they get sadly. My fellow Ohioans love to complain but do nothing and keep the status quo. Even protecting abortion and getting weed passed was a miracle at all. Everyone and their mother complained about Dewine for years and how awful he was and showed up happily to vote him right back in like many others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
