In Ohio, Ballot language was accepted on Tuesday for a few issues in Ohio, and that the third issue involves legalizing marijuana. Those that are pushing for it are not happy, and are going to appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court.
“Former Ohio Supreme Court Andy Douglas, representing ResponsibleOhio, said in a statement that the board-approved language is ‘clearly biased and gives preference to the arguments of marijuana reform opponents. The language is inaccurate and strategically worded as to misguide voters,” reporter Alan Johnson writes.
This specific group has appealed to the higher court in the past. The group turned to the Ohio Supreme Court when there were issues over the amount of signatures said to have been turned into Secretary of State Husted’s office. This likely isn’t the last time that the group is going to appeal to the supreme court, either.
“Issue 2, hurriedly put together in June by the General Assembly, would make it more difficult for a ‘monopoly, cartel or oligopoly’ to push an amendment into the Ohio Constitution. It is specially aimed at killing Issue 3, which would be a for-profit system, with private investors in charge of 10 growing sites across the state. Republicans contend Issue 2 would cancel out Issue 3 should they both pass, but it likely would end up in the courts.”
