At the stroke of midnight, recreational marijuana became legal in Ohio.
Voters approved last month that adults 21 and older are allowed to use and grow cannabis.
However, Ohio Republicans may be putting the brakes on it.
On Monday, Ohio Senate Republicans proposed banning at-home growing, increasing the substance’s tax rate, and altering how those taxes get distributed.
The ballot measure, dubbed Issue 2, passed on the Nov. 7 election with 57% of the vote - but since it is a citizen’s vote, the legislature is allowed to make tweaks to the law.
Yes, because all of them do despite the fact that it’s blatant bullshit.
That’s their thing though, they make up all sorts of crazy shit like being better for business than democrats, when, in fact, Republicans are bad for the economy, bad for job growth, and worse than democrats in every measurable way from employment levels to recessions when it comes to the actual numbers.
This is no surprise to anyone has been paying attention, there are shitloads of CBO reports going back decades to back up the above.
The two party system sucks and democrats can be shitty too, but the GOP is measurably worse for the average person in pretty much every way.
