Ohio voters have approved a proposal legalizing recreational marijuana. Republican legislative leaders are expected to weigh revisiting aspects of the proposal that passed Tuesday.
Federal pardons have been issued for possession crimes, and removing it from being Schedule 1 is currently underway. It’s the federal government, so nothing is fast and everything takes forever, but I don’t think it’s really accurate to say that he’s done nothing.
Especially given that essentially zero people are now prosecuted federally for weed possession now, a bit of a wait for the bureaucratic gears to turn feels fine enough for me.

Yeah it helped about 6500 people, but the rest is taking way too long, even by government standards.
At this point I’m not holding my breath he ever gets it done, so I guess check back with me in 2024.
