AI Summary
This bill:
Revises the liquor control laws, including by allowing the Division of Marijuana Control to regulate the cultivation, processing, testing, and retail sale of adult-use marijuana in addition to medical marijuana. The bill establishes cultivation and retail dispensary license types and requirements, sets tetrahydrocannabinol content limits for adult-use marijuana products, and authorizes adults 21 and over to possess and use homegrown marijuana under certain conditions. The bill also levies a 15% excise tax on the retail sale of adult-use marijuana, with the revenue used to fund law enforcement training, public health and safety initiatives, access to justice programs, and the administration of adult-use marijuana laws. Additionally, the bill allows counties to levy up to a 3% excise tax on adult-use marijuana sales for certain cultural and entertainment purposes. The bill makes other changes to the laws governing hemp, medical marijuana, and the regulation of marijuana more broadly in Ohio.
