The Week In Weed: November 17, 2023

Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at what's happening in the world of legalized marijuana. This week, we look at what officials in Ohio are saying about the ballot initiative. We check in on the Alabama licensing situation. We note that there's been a settlement in the New York licensing lawsuit. We have some information on a nationwide poll of public sentiment on cannabis. And finally, we see Wisconsin has something to say to Ohio.

OHIO

Last week, the big news was that Ohio voters passed a ballot initiative legalizing adult-use cannabis. Regular readers will recall we wondered how lawmakers might implement the initiative, especially since some of them were not in favor of legalization. This week, the picture is becoming a bit clearer. Notably, Ohio's Governor Mike DeWine (R), an opponent of the initiative, has said he's focused on the details of the law.
