The future of recreational marijuana legalization in Ohio is in the balance
Tuesday. Issue 2 on the statewide ballot would allow adults 21 and over to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and to grow plants at home. A 10% tax would be imposed on purchases, with proceeds going to administrative costs, addiction treatment, municipalities with dispensaries, and social equity and jobs programs. Ohio would become the 24th state to allow adult use cannabis for fun if the measure passes.
Republican Gov. Mike DeWine also opposed it, citing traffic safety concerns, among other things. Some of the state's most influential business and manufacturing organizations also worked against the measure, citing concerns that workplace safety would deteriorate, absenteeism would rise and workers' compensation rates would be driven up.
