DeMora Votes Yes on House Bill 86

Today, state Senator Bill DeMora (D-Columbus) 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.

“While this bill is far from perfect, the committee’s decision to restore home grow, lower the taxes from the as-introduced version, and raise the possession amount to match State Issue 2, along with the strides we made to fund the poison control center, the 988 suicide hotline, and expungement of marijuana possession charges, will help ensure that Ohio has the best adult-use program in the nation,” said DeMora. “ I am proud of the work that the committee put into making sure we got this right, and I am proud to have voted yes on Substitute House Bill 86.”
