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.
I disagree, there deffo should be some licensing on who exactly is able to produce mind altering substances just to guarantee the the brew is clean.
Guess you’re against homebrew beer, wine, and meade too?
While you’re at at, you should also propose bans on privately grown tobacco and coffee too.
These are all mind altering substances.
Sugar better be regulated as well. That’s most people’s first mind altering substance.
You’re saying all that as if it’s ridiculous to control who’s allowed to grow that shit even just for themselves
Yes, those are all mind altering substances, so you shouldn’t be able to just grow it without being certified to be following the guidelines, if only because even if I can trust you personally to be the town buzzkill who never shares their stash, I can’t count on the hempton family who swear that the greenhouse they just built that grows enough for twenty is just to help with dad’s knee.
Shouldn’t be allowed to sell it? Sure. Not allowed to grow? You’re delusional if you think that’s gonna work. It’s just going to cause the people who can afford to, to move to states that allow you to grow, and those that can’t just get to have their lives destroyed for doing something that is perfectly legal in other states.
Prohibition Never Works.
Only if they’re selling it.
Nah, homebrew chemistry can be some dangerous shit even without the intent to get high off it.
Not everyone’s that one Rick that just wants to chemically induce a batch of fresh brownies.
Anything is dangerous shit with enough of an idiot at the helm.
Drugs are more regulated than guns in the US for fuck’s sake. That there should be enough.
I bet the mental gymnastics routine to justify that is straight tens.
Unless I imagined the record breaking 38 mass killings this year I’m gonna have to take that to mean you think they’re barely regulated at all.
