On November 3rd, Ohio voters will consider Issues 2 and 3. The former would
amend the process by which citizen initiatives could establish economic
monopolies, oligopolies, cartels, or special privileges in the Ohio Constitution.
The latter would amend Ohio’s Constitution to legalize marijuana under Ohio law
and create 10 facilities with exclusive commercial rights to grow the drug. To
debate the pros and cons of these issues, we have assembled a distinguished panel
of experts in antitrust law, state initiatives, and drug policy.
