At the stroke of midnight, recreational marijuana became legal in Ohio.

Voters approved last month that adults 21 and older are allowed to use and grow cannabis.

However, Ohio Republicans may be putting the brakes on it.

On Monday, Ohio Senate Republicans proposed banning at-home growing, increasing the substance’s tax rate, and altering how those taxes get distributed.

The ballot measure, dubbed Issue 2, passed on the Nov. 7 election with 57% of the vote - but since it is a citizen’s vote, the legislature is allowed to make tweaks to the law.

    A good fascist, anti-american decision from the Ohio GOP - aka the enemies of our constitution and democratic republic.

    There, fixed your comment to reflect reality.

      Fascism is a populist philosophy that seeks to weld business and government together in the national interest, so it’s not fascism, it’s just sparkling authoritarianism with a dash of moral panic for flavor.
