Ohio Senators on Monday proposed a ban on homegrown marijuana and other changes
to the state Issue 2 legal marijuana law voters approved on Election Day.

Voters had approved the legal purchase and use of recreational marijuana for
adults aged 21 and up, allowed people to grow a limited amount at home, and
decided how taxes from the sale would be allocated.

A Senate committee added changes to the newly approved marijuana law as part of
consideration of a liquor control bill. The new measure could be voted on by the
full Senate this week. Any changes would need to be approved by the House before
going before the governor for his signature.

The marijuana law passed by voters goes into effect Thursday.

The proposed changes were outlined by Ohio Sen. Rob McColley, R-Napoleon, at the
senate’s general government committee hearing Monday.

Those changes include:

 * A ban on growing marijuana at home. Voters had approved cultivation of six
   marijuana plants at a time, with a limit of 12 per household.
 * Increasing the taxes and directing all of it to the state’s general fund, law
   enforcement training, marijuana substance abuse treatment and prevention, and
   safe driver training.
 * Eliminating voter approved money for jurisdictions with marijuana businesses
   and assistance to disadvantaged and minority marijuana business owners.
 * Decreasing the potency of legal marijuana and limiting the amount people can
   possess to one ounce of plant material and 5 grams of extracts.
 * Banning smoking marijuana in public and vehicles, limiting it to private
   residences and allowing landlords to ban it.
 * Allowing employers to have drug free workplace policies and discharge people
   for violating it by using marijuana.
 * Limit the total number of dispensaries to 230, down from the 350 McColley
   said the voter-approved law allows.



“These changes begin to make Issue 2 less dangerous to Ohioans and less
self-serving to the industry. They’re unlikely to be the last,” said Scott
Milburn, spokesperson for the campaign against Issue 2.

The proposal would “gut Issue 2′s most important provisions, including home grow
and social equity, and (would propose) to put in place higher taxes that will
entrench the illicit market and force Ohioans to continue to buy their cannabis
products in Michigan,” said Tom Haren, spokesman for the Coalition to Regulate
Marijuana Like Alcohol, which supported Issue 2. “This is not what voters
wanted.”

recreational marijuana

The bill would increase the marijuana excise tax from 10% to 15%, which would
generate $262 million annually, and add a 15% tax on cultivators, which would
bring in $149.7 million annually.

The state sales tax would also apply to marijuana sales and bring in $100.4
million in annual revenue, McColley said.




The state’s general revenue fund would get 45% of the estimated $512 million
generated annually from those taxes. Thirty percent would go to the law
enforcement training fund, 15% to a marijuana substance abuse treatment and
prevention fund and 10% to a safe driver training fund.

“From my mind the voters intent is nowhere to be found in this what I call a
shell of what the voters passed,” said Sen. William P. Demora, D-Columbus, the
five-member committee’s only Democrat and only no vote on the proposal.

He said he supports reducing the number of plants a person can grow but getting
rid of home grow goes against what voters want. He also said the taxes are too
high and should go to where voters chose.
