From Cannabis Wire, Alyson Martin reporting:

"Carney said that he predicts that if Issue 2 passes, the general assembly won’t make any real moves until December 2024. He added that, like it or not, the cannabis industry’s money will be flowing to Columbus. 

"'I don’t think, if this passes, that the general assembly is going to do a lot to try to turn this back. I think you will have marijuana regulated like alcohol in Ohio, and I think they’ll be tinkering on that as that moves forward,' Carney said. 'All the while, the industry will be making money and making contributions and growing in clout around the general assembly. And I think they will have a check on the general assembly doing anything.'"
