If voters pass Issue 2 on Nov. 7, Ohio will become the 24th state to legalize marijuana for adult use. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio voters will decide on Nov. 7 whether to legalize marijuana for recreational adult use, potentially taking Ohio down a road that nearly half of U.S. states already have paved.
That 23 states already have approved marijuana for recreational use offers a trove of information to help understand what it could mean for Ohio. However, the extent of how many accidents are caused by marijuana is debated among researchers, when accounting for driver age, sex and other factors associated with a higher accident rate.
The slower speeds that some marijuana users employ to compensate for their impairment may give the drivers more time to respond to something unexpected on the road than if they were driving at a higher rate of speed. But research is currently inconclusive about whether the extra time enables drivers to make the right decisions, Brown said.
“The saliva test is much cheaper than the blood test and it’s less invasive,” he said. “It’s more convenient to collect the sample. It’s good to tell you if THC exists or is present in the sample. But if you want to know how much THC, the THC concentration level, the saliva test is not very good.” However, the study found the increase was largely driven by young adults from the ages of 18 to 26, said University of Pittsburgh health policy and management professor Coleman Drake, a study author. They were most likely to be white men without any college education.
By the fifth year, tax revenues could range between $336.4 million and $403.6 million. The OSU researchers said they took a conservative approach to revenue projections. While there is no national clearinghouse tracking down how many dogs and cats are getting stoned, the Pet Poison Helpline is seeing a rapid increase in pet patients who have consumed THC. The helpline isIn the past five years in the U.S., there has been a 700% increase in calls relating to marijuana consumption to the helpline, said Dr. Renee Schmid, the service’s manager of veterinary medicine and professional services and senior veterinary toxicologist.
