DeWine Accepts Issue 1 Results, Urges Revisions to Issue 2
DeWine Accepts Abortion Amendment
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has stated that he accepts the results of Issue 1, the amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. However, Issue 2, a citizen initiative to legalize recreational marijuana, will face revisions from Ohio lawmakers.
Lawmakers to Revise Issue 2
Issue 2 legalized and provided regulations for recreational marijuana use for adults aged 21 and above. DeWine, who voted against Issue 2, stated that the potential tax revenue is not worth the associated risks. Lawmakers are expected to propose and pass modifications to the new law.
Ohio Becomes 24th State to Legalize Marijuana
Regardless of the potential revisions, Ohioans voted overwhelmingly in favor of Issue 2 on Tuesday, making the Buckeye State the 24th to legalize adult-use marijuana.
