Medical Marijuana & Adult-Use Cannabis
On November 7, 2023, Ohio voters approved State Issue 2, which authorizes and regulates the possession, use, and sale of recreational marijuana and cannabis products. Recreational products are generally referred to in the Ohio Revised Code (R.C.) Chapter 3780 as “adult-use cannabis” to distinguish them from medical marijuana, which is already authorized and regulated under R.C. Ch. 3796.
The OTA has put together resources for all Active and Affiliate members to navigate this new law in Ohio. Townships are strongly encouraged to work with their county prosecutor or legal counsel prior to passing a resolution on this issue. Please click the resources and register for the Lunch 'N Learn Webinar, Understanding Issue 2, below.
*Please note, OTA members will need to log in to their OTA account to view the materials and register for the webinar at no cost.
