Issue 2 - “Commercialize, Regulate, Legalize, and Tax the Adult Use of Cannabis” 

  • Actual text of the resolution is 51 pages long!!!

    • And very, very difficult to find online

  • While much is said about “cannabis” the bulk of the language deals with “Social Equity and Jobs Program” - a new effort under the Ohio Department of Development

    • The actual text contains the word “equity” over twice as many times as the word “license”.

      • Section 2:  “provide funding and social equity opportunities in the state”

      • Section 3:  “Prescribing standards and procedures in coordination with the department of development to administer and enforce the cannabis social equity and jobs program”

  • The Department of Development - “Creating a better life for all Ohioans”

    • Already sounds like an “equity” focused organization

  • New “Social Equity and Jobs Program”

    • Funded by legalizing and licensing cannabis

    • Easily expanded to every area of commerce, business and government activity

  • Also includes language that forces cannabis into poor and impoverished neighborhoods

    • Anyone previously convicted of selling weed, can get Ohio funding to get back into the business!

  • Aside from the obvious issues with widespread use of marijuana, the focus on creating a whole new “equity” program has nothing to do with the legalization effort.
