Ohio voters will decide on a citizen-initiated ballot measure, titled Issue 2, to legalize marijuana on Nov. 7.
Should voters approve Issue 2, Ohio would be the 24th state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana and the 13th state, along with Washington D.C., to do so through the citizen initiative process.
Voters rejected an initiative to legalize marijuana in Ohio in 2015. There were several differences between this year’s initiative and the initiative in 2015, such commercial licensing of facilities.
