Another WIN! Issue 2 to Commercialize, Regulate, Legalize and Tax the Adult Use Cannabis will become law in Ohio on December 7, 2023, thirty days after the November 7th General Election. Issue 2 won statewide by 56.97% YES and 43.03% NO.
***************
It is apparent the Ohio Republicans can’t agree on what to change on Issue 2.
SB86 was passed by the Senate on December 6, 2023.
The House has HB341 and HB354.
However, the General Assembly has adjourned for the rest of the year,
leaving Issue 2 as passed at this point – and in limbo.
Stay informed on what the Ohio Republicans plan even though voters
overwhelmingly passed the new law this past November 7, 2023 – General Election.
