Two Northeast Ohio Democratic state lawmakers introduced a bill this past week to advance the planned initiated statute by the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, which would legalize cannabis for adult use.
he’s not interested in the legislature passing the coalition’s plan.
“Marijuana legalization is overdue in Ohio,” Weinstein said in a statement. “The hundreds of thousands of Ohio voters who signed this petition—and millions more who support legalization statewide—asked for action from our legislature. Instead, GOP leaders have ignored them.” “Legalizing cannabis would create good-paying jobs and generate significant revenue for our state,” Upchurch said. “We must listen to the overwhelming support from voters and take action to finally legalize cannabis in Ohio.”
The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol’s plan would allow people ages 21 and older to grow, possess and purchase marijuana. It would levy a 10% tax on marijuana purchases, with revenue going toward substance abuse and addition research, to communities with dispensaries and to job creation.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
