Adult-Use Cannabis Approved for Ohio’s November Ballot!
The Ohio Ballot Board voted yesterday to approve ballot language for an adult use cannabis legalization initiative that will be voted on in November. Known as “Issue 2”, and approved unanimously, would legalize and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older. If passed, the initiative would allow adults to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and grow up to six plants for personal use. Some groups, including health associations and law enforcement, oppose the reform and have raised concerns about the lack of specific language on automatic expungements, while supporters believe that the initiative will bring significant revenue and stringent regulations to Ohio's cannabis market.
Germany One Step Closer to Adult-Use Legalization
Yesterday, August 16th, 2023, Germany’s Bundeskabinett passed a bill to legalize adult-use cannabis use and non-profit commercial cultivation. The Bundeskabinett is Germany’s executive branch and is composed of a coalition of Germany’s currently post powerful political parties: Scholz's Social Democratic Party, Alliance 90/The Greens, and the Free Democratic Party. So, while the legislation must still successfully pass through Germany’s parliament, the passage of the bill is all but assured. If the bill eventually does go through, the most populous EU nation will be joining a handful of other European countries to have loosened rules and regulations around cannabis.
