Concerns expressed by Ohio business groups that passage of Issue 2 will negatively impact workplace safety and productivity are premised on fear, not facts (“3 Ohio businesses groups oppose ballot proposal to legalize recreational marijuana,” cleveland.com, Oct. 2).
No provisions in Issue 2 weaken or limit existing workplace drug-testing policies for cannabis. Furthermore, testing policies for those in safety-sensitive positions are governed by federal drug testing regulations and cannot be altered by changes in state law.
Further, studies consistently show that employees who consume cannabis during off-hours are no different than their peers. Their workplace performance doesn’t differ from that of their co-workers, many of whom consume alcohol, and they do not pose an increased safety risk.
Twenty-three states have now enacted legislation regulating the adult-use cannabis market. None of these states has repealed or even rolled back their laws, and public support for these policies has never been higher. These policies are largely working as politicians and voters intended and they are preferable to prohibition.
After a century of failed policies and canna-bigotry, Ohio’s voters are ready to move in a different direction – one that legalizes, regulates, and educates. They are ready to vote ‘yes’ on Issue 2.
