I’m actually surprised Ohio made it this far without their legislature pulling a fast one and bullshitting their way out of it somehow.
Lots of national businesses have headquarters in Ohio. Even where weed isn’t legal it’s like every other business “can’t find employees” because they refuse to drop thc from their drug tests so now they’re on the brink of collapse. I’m glad but surprised whatever lobbying efforts were probably made weren’t enough.
There is at least one longtime Ohio business that’s very pro-cannabis. The CEO of Scott’s Miracle-Gro has been outspoken about it for years. Of course it’s profitable – they will gladly sell you fertilizer and accessories!

Oh they fucking tried a LOT. The public at large, and a lot of the lobbying groups, kept up the pressure really well to get this through.
