Alright folks, this is my first post here on these forums. I am going to attempt to be an active contributor to this place. I was once a member of the original overgrow.com as well as a moderator/breeder on overgrow.com. I am coming out of the closet and starting to post on this website. I found out about it because I believe the owner of this site was wearing his tshirt with "www.ohiocannabis.com" on it at the house finance committee hearing and then I ran across the domain on a simple google search so here I am... I am hoping to contribute to this industry now that it is legal in OH!
Commerce also announced Thursday that Greg McIlvaine will assume an unnamed leadership role within the cannabis control division. McIlvaine has been policy director for the Medical Marijuana Control Program for the past four years.
Canepa began advising the Medical Marijuana Control Program on rulemaking options after Issue 2 passed in November, according to Commerce officials. State lawmakers are planning to make changes to the new law when they return in January.

Department of Commerce Director Sherry Maxfield said his performance in that role played into his appointment. She said this includes creating “effective solutions,” such as modernizing the state’s liquor inventory control system and introducing “retail innovations” such as the Golden Barrel Giveaway contest.
“Jim’s proven leadership and innovative approach make him the perfect choice to navigate this new area of retail and regulatory responsibility,” Maxfield said in a news release. “His diverse experience and impressive regulatory credentials will be instrumental in developing a non-medical cannabis program that aligns with the expectations of Ohioans.”
Canepa said he is looking forward to his new position, which he will begin Jan. 1.
“I am humbled by the opportunity to implement a first-of-its-kind program for the state in a safe, responsible and efficient way,” he said in a news release. “I’ve been fortunate to spend years working within both law enforcement and the retail industry. Both experiences will be central to the work that has already begun in this area inside the Department of Commerce.”
Lets hope that this new HB is written up fairly when all said and done! I know they are still in the works on finalizing the bill, but we need to make sure they get it done right!

Let's hope they come to their senses and don't screw this up! That first proposal they put out was ridiculous. Leave the HG alone and don't jack up the taxes.
