The Narrative

What is November's Issue 2? With Jaime Zerbe


Listen Later

Early voting begins next week, which means Ohioans will start voting on Issue 2, an effort to legalize recreational marijuana. Why is this such a disastrous idea? Why is it a lie to say that we can "regulate marijuana like alcohol" and benefit our state with the extra tax income?

On this week’s episode of The Narrative, you'll get the insider's scoop from CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, Communications Director Mike Andrews, and Jaime Zerbe, Chief of Staff at Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), on the dangerous realities of this addiction-for-profit industry.

Overlooked concerns of commercialization that are addressed include:

  • Tax benefit versus the amount spent to offset negative impacts
  • Increased workplace accidents and fatal car crashes
  • Children overdosing on gummies
  • Black market opportunities for drug cartels
  • and more!
