The Controversy Surrounding Ohio's Marijuana Legalization Debate

TL;DR Summary
If Ohio voters pass a recreational marijuana ballot initiative, adults would be allowed to smoke marijuana, unlike the state's medical marijuana program. However, the proposed change to Ohio law raises questions about private property rights and whether property owners can prohibit other forms of marijuana use, such as vaping and edibles, on their premises. The initiative would allow individuals aged 21 and older to possess and consume marijuana, purchase it from licensed dispensaries, and grow their own plants. The legislature could potentially repeal or amend the initiative if it passes.
