It's official: Ohio will vote on legalizing recreational marijuana in November

Source-https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2023/08/16/ohio-recreational-marijuana-issue-to-go-before-voters-in-november/70479067007/

snip--"It's official: Ohioans will decide this fall whether the state should legalize recreational marijuana.

The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol secured enough signatures to put its proposal before voters on the Nov. 7 ballot, Secretary of State Frank LaRose's office announced Wednesday. Advocates worked for over a year to hit this milestone as the GOP-controlled Legislature refused to go further than the current medical marijuana program."

snip--"What would the proposal do?
The proposed statute would allow Ohioans age 21 and older to buy and possess 2.5 ounces of cannabis and 15 grams of concentrates. They could also grow up to six plants individually and no more than 12 in a household with multiple adults."

.... on the November ballot too.

Both the abortion issue and the rec pot issue will bring the younger voters to the polls come the 2024 election.

Ohio might well show up in the purple column.
