Ohio Voters to Decide on Marijuana Legalization in Fall Ballot

A proposal to legalize recreational adult use of marijuana in Ohio will appear on the fall ballot after the state Legislature failed to act on it. If passed, adults 21 and over would be allowed to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and grow plants at home. The measure also includes a 10% tax on purchases, with the revenue allocated to administrative costs, addiction treatment programs, municipalities with dispensaries, and social equity and jobs programs. Ohio would become the 24th state to legalize cannabis for adult use if the proposal is approved.
