Attorney General Dave Yost Weighs in with Legal Analysis

AG Dave Yost explains in the interview with OCA President Chris Long his legal analysis on the proposed Issue 1 Constitutional Amendment language. AG Yost has written a detailed analysis of what Issue 1 will do if  passed by the Ohio voters on the November 7th Election. He enumerates the areas in existing state law that would be affected by this proposed amendment. From AG Yost's analysis:

The summary discusses the Amendment’s legal standards and how they compare to the different standards under Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and concludes with a list of several laws that could be affected by this Amendment if it is enacted. Because the Amendment talks more broadly of reproductive health care,” including contraception, and other items 'including but not limited to' abortion, this list makes mention of specific laws that, based on past experience, I expect will most certainly be challenged at some point. It is not,
however, an exhaustive list of all statutes that might possibly be affected by the proposed Amendment. Assembling such a list would require a greater degree of conjecture and speculation than is proper here." issue-1-analysis-ohio-ag-aspx.pdf (ohioca.org)

Part 2  Senator Mark Romanchuk sounds the alarm on Issue 2. If it is passed, legalizing recreational marijuana in Ohio, all Ohioans will suffer while a few get wealthy. The business community, the medical community, law enforcement, and the faith community have coalesced together to oppose Issue 2. Issue 2 legalizes an addiction-for-profit industry at the expense of our families and poses substantial risks to the public health and safety of all Ohioans, especially children and adolescents, given marijuana’s high potential for abuse. It increases the likelihood that users will endanger others by driving while under the influence. It heightens the risk of workplace injuries and employer liability. Vote NO on Issue 2. Let's not let Ohio go to pot.

A recent study finds marijuana use can lead to widespread health issues, including high rates of depression, poor sleep quality, addiction, and for pregnant women it can cause harm to their babies in the womb. The Daily Mail recently examined several medical studies into marijuana use. In Denmark, researchers found someone with cannabis use disorder was 4 times more likely to be diagnosed as bi-polar. Elsewhere, there have been many anecdotal reports of high-potency marijuana vapes causing psychotic breaks and suicidal thoughts. Marijuana is legal for recreational use in 21 US states and Washington DC. Vice President of Community Engagement and Global Goodwill at Evoke Wellness Drug and Alcohol Rehab, Jim Wahlberg, joins to share what he is seeing on the front lines regarding marijuana use and what sorts of health and mental problems he is seeing. Wahlberg discusses what it signals for marijuana use in the US that it is legal for recreational use in 21 states and for medicinal use in 40 states and whether there is any way to reverse some of these laws. He explains whether there are any circumstances where marijuana can be good. -EWTN NEWS-
