Ohio GOP Lawmakers ‘Press Pause’ On Amending Cannabis Legalization
Sara Gullickson, was quoted saying she believes the Ohio legislature will pass a cannabis bill before the end of the year.
“The budget sucked all the oxygen out of the room, and they ran out of time to finish the legislation,”…“It’s likely a standalone bill will be sent to the governor in the late fall of 2025.”
“There are a handful of differences between the house version and the Senate version, yet they are united on purpose to get this done to ensure the marketplace can survive and thrive in the state of Ohio,” she continues. “It truly was a matter of bandwidth, not intent. If Ohio did not have to pass a state budget totaling $150 billion which needed to be sent to the governor on July 1, there would’ve been plenty of time to iron out the differences. I believe Ohio will get it done in 2025.”
