ISSUE 2 Update: Statehouse Still Stalled on Ohio’s Marijuana Legislation
Ohio voters approved legalizing marijuana for adult use on November 7, 2023, and that law went into effect on December 7. However, the Ohio Statehouse has been working on legislative proposals and revisions in an effort to navigate the complexities of enacting and administrating this new law in Ohio.
As it currently stands, no further movement has taken place, which has prompted Governor Dewine, in an interview with Ohio newspaper editors to ask the Legislature to get back together, start talking about this and to take action.
