COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — 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% 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.
This is a widespread flaw in the initiative system in the US. In my opinion there should be an amendment requiring legislatures who want to change an initiative have to have their proposed text ratified by a popular vote. Or at the very least require a 2/3rd majority.
Their messiah was blessed by being covered in over 3 gallons of the finest Cannabis tincture.
Naturally occurring plants that their god puts here and they hate it when people find a use or even grow it onnamentally. I’ve heard of people growing it just because it looks nice and because it grows relatively quick and there’s a pattern in how it grows it’s therapeutic trying to follow the way it grows.
I can’t get over how Aubree Adam’s admitted to being a sore loser and how she thinks if her organization had the funds they would’ve been able to stop the measure from going through. She thinks that anti-cannabis lobbying failed but they could’ve had the funds and the people could’ve still voted “yes.” People like her are delusional and think they’re always right.
Ohio needed Cannabis to be legalized just like Michigan did.
someone posted the video which is taken out of context … But like we all know two bong rips ain’t gonna drive someone insane.
Though, if you see her full bit in the hearing she mentions Her husband and son were addicted to Cannabis and she had to sell property to pay for their treatment.
