Summary: Ohio SB86
With Ohio's Issue 2 on the brink of ushering in adult-use cannabis legalization effective December 7th, 2023, the impending hearings on Ohio SB-86 demand immediate attention. This proposed amendment stands to significantly alter anticipated cannabis regulations, impacting various aspects of cannabis use within the state.
Key Amendments Proposed:
Home Grow Prohibition: Ohio SB-86 seeks to eliminate provisions allowing individuals to grow cannabis at home, stripping away this fundamental right and potentially curbing personal autonomy in cultivation.
THC Caps Adjustment: The proposal aims to lower existing THC limits on medical marijuana products, which could limit patient access to specific treatments or therapies available in higher THC concentrations.
Dispensary License Limitations: The amendment could restrict the number of available dispensary licenses, possibly leading to reduced accessibility to cannabis products for patients.
Tax increases on rec sales to 15 percent .
Ohio medical cannabis patients can not smoke.
Adds tax to cultivators
Adds new restrictions to hemp industry related to d8 and other goods sold in cbd shops .
No money for social equity.

Given the imminent commencement of hearings – set to continue until Issue 2's effective date – it's vital for affected individuals to swiftly grasp the potential implications. An understanding of these proposed amendments and potential involvement in the legislative process is crucial.
