If passed, Issue 2 would regulate recreational marijuana like alcohol - making it legal for anyone over 21 to purchase.
Issue 2 on the Nov. 7 ballot would allow adults 21 and over to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and 15 grams of extract.Supporters of legalization say Ohio can reclaim tax revenue being lost to states such as Michigan, where marijuana is legal, and take power from illegal drug markets through government regulation.
The program would fall under the Division of Cannabis Control in the state Department of Commerce, an office that will fashion the rules around licensing, testing and product standards, among other regulations. The measure also gives those with marijuana-related arrests and convictions, as well as their loved ones, a chance to benefit from the industry once possession of cannabis is no longer illegal. Haren said a marijuana charge can make life much harder for people and has a “downstream effect” on their families.
Opponents of Issue 2, including Ohio prosecutors and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, are in line with Huffman.
