The Will of the Voters?: The Future of Adult-Use Marijuana in Ohio

October 23, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT

Free

To date, 23 states have legalized adult-use cannabis for recreational purposes and in November of this year, Ohioans will have a chance to voice their views on whether the Buckeye state should follow in their footsteps. While the Ohio initiative is similar in many ways to other states’ reforms to legalize cannabis for recreational adult use, Ohio’s cannabis reform history and the particular details of the ballot proposal’s approach to legalization give a unique Buckeye character to this effort. Also, as initiated legislation (rather than as a proposed constitutional amendment) the Ohio General Assembly will be able to modify any parts of the initiative if it passes. Please join DEPC for a panel discussion that will explore the initiative’s structure and its expected implementation, how this initiative could impact the state’s existing medical marijuana market, and chances of passage given the off-cycle election year and other political dynamics related to how the Ohio General Assembly might respond to the outcome of the election.
