User talk:IwearHat$/Cannabis in Ohio

The content in this article that will be improved is recreational marijuana in Ohio, why Ohio’s Senate is pushing back on legalizing recreational marijuana, regulation of medical cannabis and dispensaries, Issue 2 in Ohio, regulation of recreational marijuana, and marijuana patients and the risk they present behind the wheel. Residents in Ohio have been pushing to legalize recreational marijuana for years. The source I am presenting discusses what Ohio has done to stop the legalization of marijuana. It could improve by showing why the Senate is against legalizing, and what Ohio can do to regulate marijuana. According to “A RESOLUTION To express the Ohio Senate's opposition to Issue 2 on November 7, 2023, statewide ..., 2023 Bill Text OH S.R. 216 (October 11, 2023).”advance.lexis.com/api/document?collection=statutes-legislation&id=urn:contentItem:69CS-P2F1-FBFS-S002-00000-00&context=1516831. Accessed October 16, 2023. The Ohio Senate does not want the state of Ohio to vote for Issue 2. Ohio’s Senate cites reasons why recreational marijuana will create problems for the state and highlights examples of different states and the issues these states have with recreational marijuana. Regulation of medical cannabis could be a huge addition to this article because the article does not mention regulation as much as it could. According to, “Paul J. Larkin, Jr. *. "SYMPOSIUM: Reconsidering Federal Marijuana Regulation." Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law, 18, 99 Fall, 2020.” advance.lexis.com/api/document?collection=analytical materials&id=urn:contentItem:61MH-11R1-JNJT-B03P-00000-00&context=1516831. Accessed October 17, 2023. This law article discusses what Ohio does to regulate medical cannabis. Using this article can help contribute to how Ohio regulates medical cannabis.

Ohio is one of the 38 states where medical marijuana is legalized. This article can be improved by adding the bill on medical cannabis, and how the state is monitoring dispensaries. According to, “A BILL To amend sections 102.02, 109.572, 3796.01, 3796.02, 3796.03, 3796.032, 3796.05, 3796.06, 2023 Bill Text OH S.B. 9 (January 11, 2023).” advance.lexis.com/api/document?collection=statutes-legislation&id=urn:contentItem:67B1-2MG1-DYMS-619K-00000-00&context=1516831. Accessed October 13, 2023. This primary source is the codes and regulations that Ohio has for marijuana. This source shows how Ohio has ruled and what Ohio’s government will be doing to improve medical marijuana’s safety. These codes ensure safety for users of medical marijuana and can trust dispensaries providing safe medical marijuana. Ohio residents are pushing for recreational marijuana, according to, “ALEXANDER M. STEWART. "ARTICLE: O-HIGH-O: A POLICY NOTE ON OHIO'S CURRENT PUSH FOR RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA LEGISLATION AND HOW OTHER STATES HAVE CREATED SUCCESSFUL RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA LAWS." Cleveland State Law Review Et Cetera, 71, 1 April 24, 2023.” advance.lexis.com/api/document?collection=analytical-materials&id=urn:contentItem:6840-W0R1-JC8V-42M8-00000-00&context=1516831. Accessed October 13, 2023. Though this is a secondary source, this article discusses how Ohio residents are pushing for recreational marijuana. This article states what codes and regulations Ohio’s voters should vote against or vote for. Often articles have a lot of bias, but this article does a great job of using both sides of view. They create valid arguments for the legalization of recreational marijuana but also argue the problems that arise with legalization. Finally, the risk marijuana presents for drivers. According to, “Caroline Mills +. "NOTE: OHIO MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENTS AND RISKS BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL." Case Western Reserve Law Review, 71, 1349 Summer, 2021.” advance.lexis.com/api/document?collection=analytical-materials&id=urn:contentItem:644N-RC61-F361-M3MJ-00000-00&context=1516831. Accessed October 16, 2023. This law article shows research on different states and the dangers presented for marijuana users on the road. Impairment is very dangerous and often users believe that impairment while using marijuana is not dangerous, but according to research, this is further from the truth.
