((IN 2023)) :30 MARIJUANA BILL DELAYED1
OHIO SENATE BILL 56 WAS UP FOR A VOTE THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW IN COMMITTEE, BUT THE VOTE DIDN'T HAPPEN BOTH TIMES. THE BILL WOULD REDUCE THE THC LEVELS IN MARIJUANA EXTRACTS FROM A MAXIMUM OF 90% DOWN TO A MAX OF 70%. IT ALSO LIMITS THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE DISPENSARIES TO 400 AND BANS SMOKING IN MOST PUBLIC PLACES. THE CHANGES FACE PUSH BACK, WITH SOME SAYING IT'S NOT WHAT VOTERS SUPPORTED WHEN THEY PASSED THE LAW TO LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IN 2023.
