Legalizing recreational marijuana could be on the November ballot in Ohio alongside the reproductive rights amendment — which could bode well for those hoping to legalize cannabis, legal experts say.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
“The failure of Issue 1 really, really is going to create a massive turnout in November and the people that I think would be likely to vote on that abortion issue would also be more likely to vote positively on the recreational marijuana issue,” said David Waxman, a Cleveland attorney with the law firm McGlinchey Stafford.
“I think people who go out to vote in November are likely to support us no matter what they vote on the abortion amendment,” Haren said. “I think we will be popular among those who vote yes and we’re going to be popular among those who vote no as well.” “We are going to give consumers an alternative to that illicit market,” he said. “We are going to make sure that consumers have a choice to buy their cannabis products from a relegated dispensary where they know their products are tested.”
