The group’s advert encourages residents to vote in favor of the poll initiative often called Difficulty 2 that may legalize adult-use leisure marijuana in Ohio. Hashish has been authorized in Michigan since 2018, and the advert claims that hundreds of Ohio residents make the journey to “that state up north” every year to buy authorized hashish, with the ensuing tax income benefiting Michigan relatively than the Buckeye State.
