O-HIGH-O: A POLICY NOTE ON OHIO'S CURRENT
PUSH FOR RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA
LEGISLATION AND HOW OTHER STATES HAVE
CREATED SUCCESSFUL RECREATIONAL
MARIJUANA LAWS
ALEXANDER M. STEWART'
ABSTRACT
Many states have gone on to pass comprehensive recreational marijuana laws that
have greatly benefitted their economy, public health, and criminal justice system. Ohio
currently allows for the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and there has been
past attempts to enact legislation that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana,
but the past proposals failed to gain the widespread support required to become law.
This Note seeks to analyze and understand other states' legislation in an attempt to
understand what successful recreational marijuana legislation looks like. This Note
concludes with a comprehensive proposal that contains all the essential elements of
successful recreational marijuana laws to act as a guide for lawmakers and Ohio
citizens alike for creating a successful recreational marijuana statute to ensure the
greatest likelihood of garnishing the support required to become law.
i J.D. expected May 2023, Cleveland State University College of Law. I would like to
thank the CSLR team and the Cleveland State University professors who made writing this Note
possible. Special thanks to Professor Sandra Kerber for being a valuable mentor and for sharing
her passion for legal writing.
