The rigmarole between the federal Marijuana laws and the state Marijuana laws in America is likely to drag for longer. Â While the American government through the federal laws is adamant that Marijuana is illegal in America. Â There are some states that have passed bills which have allowed the use of Marijuana for specific reasons. These reasons currently stand at Marijuana for medical use and recreational use only.
Some other states have allowed the use of Marijuana for these two reasons while others have only permitted the use of one alone which is medical use only. In the recent times, the state of South Carolina has found itself entangled in a serious legislation trying to pass bills which legalize the use of Marijuana for medical use only.
Ohio Marijuana Legislation
Ohio is the latest state in America to pass laws which seek to give way to people to use Marijuana for recreational use alone. Â Last year, the state of Ohio changed its Marijuana laws enacting some changes which allowed its people to use Marijuana for recreational use. This bill was subjected to a ballot initiative which saw people come out in large numbers to legalize the use of Marijuana for adult recreational use.
Ohio Laws Permit Adults to Use Marijuana
The intense debate and legislations in Ohio have resulted in some major changes to the Ohio Marijuana laws. These changes now allow adults aged 21 years and above to possess, use consume and even grow Marijuana. The law also allows them to grow up to six plants of Marijuana at home.
What the New Marijuana Laws of Ohio Means
The new Marijuana laws of Ohio have been controversial and interesting. These laws now give the leeway to adults to grow and use Marijuana for specified reasons. Â Effectively, the new Marijuana laws of Ohio have opened other avenues of exploitation in the stat. Â For instance, the legalization of Marijuana for recreational use in Ohio has opened and avenue for businesspeople and investors who have longed at investing in the Marijuana sector.
As a result, it is expected that Marijuana retail sales are going to go up soon. The sales of Marijuana especially for recreational use in the state of Ohio are expected to go high in the coming days. It is also expected that Ohio will become a Marijuana investment destination for most people who want to try out their luck in Marijuana business.
The only problem at this point is the federal laws in America which contravene the laws passed by the Ohio state. Â Experts see that interpretation of the two laws from the two different centres of power as a potential source of misunderstanding which might result in court cases and battles that might go as far as the Supreme Court.
Already, there are some municipalities in Ohio which have temporarily paused the implementation of the new Marijuana laws. These municipalities are demanding more time to be able to come up with regulations which will govern the growth, distribution sale and even use of Marijuana for the reasons provided.
Conclusion
The state of Ohio has passed an interesting bill which now allows people considered to be adults to grow and use Marijuana for recreational reasons. This law is likely to attract criticism and great controversy in the coming days considering that it is a downright violation of the U.S federal laws governing Marijuana.
