REJECT ISSUE 3. PROMOTERS WILL BENEFIT. OHIO WON'T
There may come a time when Ohioans will vote on a pot legalization
measure that fits the state. It won't happen this year. Ballot Issue
3 is a bad idea for Ohio.
Issue 3 would alter the state constitution to legalize marijuana. But
the measure comes with serious additional baggage. It would award the
commanding heights of this new sector of the economy the
manufacturing of Ohio-legal pot to those investors who spent
millions on their campaign to put the issue on the ballot. It would
shield their rich reward by constitutionally enshrining their right
to the market and fixing in place the tax rate they would pay.
The ballot measure comes dressed in the trappings of the benefits of
legalizing marijuana, and it is certainly an audacious proposal. But
its promoters' display of benevolent inventiveness is self-serving.
