COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Lawmakers could potentially place another hurdle in the path to legalizing marijuana in Ohio.
The Ohio Senate Rules Committee is considering a bill that would send an amendment to voters this November.
That amendment, if passed, would ban any future amendments granting business monopolies and enshrining property rights for individuals in the Ohio Constitution.
Senate President Keith Faber said amendments like a proposed marijuana legalization amendment or the previously passed casino amendment are bad business.
“It stifles competition, it stifles the free market, and it puts private property rights inside the state constitution, our governing document,” he said. “It’s a bad public policy.”
Faber adds, “The free market needs to pick winners and losers. This is literally putting winners in the Constitution.”
Responsible Ohio is the group behind the proposed marijuana legalization amendment. Their amendment would limit growing sites in the state to ten.
