The 2023 Ohio reproductive rights initiative,[1] officially titled "The Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety", and listed on the ballot as Issue 1,[2] is a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment that will appear on the ballot on November 7, 2023. If a for vote passes, the initiative would codify reproductive rights in the Ohio Constitution, including contraception, fertility treatment, whether to continue one's own pregnancy, and miscarriage care. It would restore Roe v. Wade-era access in Ohio, protecting "the right to abortion up to the point of fetal viability" while permitting restrictions after
Issue 2 would legalize and regulate recreational marijuana for adults aged 21 and above, including cultivation, processing, sale, purchase, possession, and home growth. If the initiative is approved by voters in 2023, adults would be able to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and up to 15 grams of marijuana concentrates. Additionally, individuals would be permitted to cultivate up to six marijuana plants at home, while households could cultivate up to 12 plants collectively.[1][2]
The Division of Cannabis Control, created under the initiative, would be responsible for regulating and licensing marijuana operators and facilities and would oversee the compliance and standardization of marijuana businesses and production in Ohio.[1]
Under Issue 2, marijuana sales would be taxed at 10%. The revenue generated from this tax would be directed toward establishing a cannabis social equity and jobs program. This program would be designed to provide financial support and assistance for license applications to individuals who have been disproportionately affected by past marijuana-related law enforcement.
