Ohio Legalized Cannabis—So Why Is the Legislature Scaling It Back?

This episode explains how Ohio voters approved adult use cannabis in 2023 through a citizen initiated statute and how the Legislature later revised that law in November 2025 under Senate Bill 56. The discussion covers how SB56 reduces THC limits, restricts hemp derived products, and changes several parts of the framework voters expected to remain in place. It also explores why lawmakers have the authority to alter the statute, the conflict between voter intent and legislative power, and why many Ohioans see these revisions as a rollback of what they supported at the polls.
