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.
So the GOP, the party of personal freedom, has specifically taken aim at the most personal aspects of the bill. They want to tell you what you can grow in your house and tax it higher. Republican voters are fucking morons.
I think we need a new corollary to “every accusation is a confession”: everything they promise is something they want to take away.
