On November 3rd, Ohio voters will have the opportunity to legalize recreational cannabis through a constitutional amendment.
Secretary of State Jon Husted said today that the group ResponsibleOhio has collected 320,267 signatures from registered Ohio voters on their initiative to legalize cannabis, 14,676 more than necessary to qualify for this year’s general election ballot.
If passed into law, the initiative would legalize the possession of up to an ounce of cannabis for those 21 and older, while establishing a system of state-licensed cannabis retail outlets. These outlets would be supplied by ten licensed production centers located throughout the state.
