- Ohioans voted Tuesday to approve Issue 2, making the Buckeye State the 24th to legalize adult-use marijuana.
- The Associated Press called the election in favor of the measure at around 9:25 p.m. with 56% of voters supporting it.
- Issue 2, which goes into effect Dec. 7, will allow adults 21 and older to buy, possess and grow cannabis. Products would be taxed 10% on top of the state sales tax, with revenue going into four pots: a social equity and jobs program, municipalities with dispensaries, a substance abuse fund and administrative costs.
