Antonio Applauds Joint Support of House Bill 86

Today, Senate Minority Leader Nickie J. Antonio (D-Lakewood) issued the following statement after the Ohio Senate passed House Bill 86, which made changes to the adult use recreational marijuana laws passed under Issue 2.

“The people of Ohio said loud and clear that they want legal, safe and accessible marijuana,” said Antonio. “Our caucus worked together to ensure that the voice of the people was reflected in the changes made to the bill, including expungement, preserving home grow and funding for our local communities and mental health. As legislators, we have a responsibility to make sure our state has good public policy that serves the people well. I believe we’ve done that with this bill.”
