Ohio lawmakers plan to pass cannabis reform bill by end of June
Ohio Republicans plan to pass recreational cannabis reform by the end of June (Source: “Ohio Republican lawmakers plan to pass marijuana restrictions by end of June,” Ohio Capital Journal, May 28).
Under the law passed by Ohio voters in November 2023, if you are 21 years old or older, you can smoke, vape, and ingest cannabis. Individually, you can grow six plants, but you can grow up to 12 plants per household if you live with others.
Both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly are working to enact new restrictions on adult cannabis use by combining two bills: Senate Bill 56 and House Bill 160. Both make dozens of changes to cannabis access, but most notably, S.B. 56 limits THC content and reduces home growing to six plants, while H.B. 160 limits THC and keeps home growing the same.
