OH: Employers question impact of legalizing recreational marijuana as November election nears
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Less than a week from the beginning of early voting in Ohio, the battle over Issue 2 — which would legalize recreational marijuana — is heating up.
If passed, the law would legalize and regulate recreational cannabis for adults 21 years of age and older. Individual Ohioans would also be able to grow up to six plants but up to 12 per household. As Election Day nears, both the Ohio Business Roundtable and Ohio Manufacturer's Association have come out against Issue 2.
Angela Phillips, CEO of Middletown's Phillips Tube Group, said she is against opening access to marijuana to protect workers on the floor of her steel assembly plants.
"It's a real risk for us," Phillips said.
