Ohio Republican lawmakers have introduced a bill to reform their state’s marijuana laws, increasing taxes on the substance and limiting personal cultivation.

Ohio lawmakers are working to rewrite the recreational marijuana law voters approved two years ago with a bill that proposes at least 44 major changes.

Ohio lawmakers are considering changes to the state's recreational marijuana laws just months after legalization, with a new bill proposing to increase the excise tax and implement other restrictions.

Senate Bill 56 increases the excise tax on adult-use marijuana to 15% and makes other major changes to the voter-approved law.

A local state senator has introduced a bill that could make major changes to Ohio’s adult-use marijuana law. Ohio Senator Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City) introduced Senate Bill 56 on Jan. 28. If the bill passes, it would change several aspects of the law, including the number of plants a person can grow in a household, taxes and THC potencies.

Ohio Republican lawmakers are reviving an effort to significantly alter the state’s voter-approved marijuana legalization law—in part by raising the tax on cannabis products, halving the number of plants adults could grow and eliminating certain social equity provisions.
