Ohio Cannabis Reform in Focus: Medical Marijuana

On Thursday, April 7, the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center and the Natural Therapies Education Foundation hosted two expert panels that focused on two possible routes to reform and the implications they may have for patients and Ohioans alike. After three years of operation, the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program continues to grow and yet continues to be plagued by high levels of patient dissatisfaction due to access limits and high costs. The recent approval of dozens of new dispensary licenses comes as major reform bills have been introduced in the Ohio General Assembly with the aim of improving the Ohio MMCP's functionality for both patients and the cannabis industry. This panel of experts discussed on-going and proposed reforms, why they are needed and how they could impact the various stakeholders. Introduction: Mary Jane Borden, co-founder and secretary of the board, Natural Therapies Education Foundation Panelists: Ohio Senator Steven Huffman Andrew Makoski, Senior Attorney, Ohio Department of Commerce Medical Marijuana Control Program Tasha Rountree, medical marijuana caregiver in Ohio and patient in Michigan Justin C.
