CLEVELAND — A big factor Ohio voters will have to consider when deciding legalization of recreational cannabis this year is the potential economic impact legal weed would have.

“And that’s a problem in Michigan and Ohio. You know, the term Rust Belt is not a term for no reason, right?” said Michigan attorney Brett Gelbord, who specializes in the cannabis industry and employment law. “Over 33,000 people are employed in the cannabis industry statewide right now, and those are good jobs. They’re good-paying jobs.”
“It ended up being a very helpful backfill to offset some of those disruptions, those economic disruptions,” said Gacioch. “50% to 60% of our customer base is from the Ohio region,” said Kevin Brojek, who helps run King of Budz in Ferndale. The company has a store in Monroe, too.“Regulating the sale of marijuana for adults has been successful in just about every state,” said Tom Haren. He’s the spokesperson for the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.
The Social Equity and Jobs Fund will also encourage diversity hiring and studying criminal justice and bail reform.
