Ohio's newly passed recreational marijuana law goes into effect today. But what exactly will be legal? Republican lawmakers have been debating modifications to the initiated statute, which voters decided on Nov. 7.
Among the issues legislators have been considering are the tax rate, THC levels and enabling municipalities to ban dispensaries.
