Marijuana legalization

Dispensaries across the state have sold more than $250 million worth of adult-use cannabis since legalization began in August.

Last week, communities across the state voted on whether to raise property taxes to support public services and facilities. Here’s a look at how some of those local issues fared.

The study estimated the tax income based on comparisons with Colorado, Nevada, Michigan, Illinois, Washington and Oregon where adult marijuana use is legal.

The Ohio Ballot Board will meet Thursday to determine language voters will see on the ballot for two issues: one to enshrine abortion rights into the constitution, and the other to pass a law to legalize marijuana.

The state is more than doubling the number of dispensaries where medical marijuana will be available.

Rep. Casey Weinstein (D-Hudson) said Republican leaders in Ohio pushed to delay a legal marijuana ballot initiative to avoid an uptick in voter turnout for the November election.

A settlement agreement to put off the ballot issue came not long after a lawsuit was filed by the marijuana legalization group disputing a ruling of the Ohio Secretary of State.

The clock is ticking for the Ohio Legislature to pass an initiated statute to keep the issue from going to the ballot this fall.
