Saturday, December 16, 3:30pm, Columbus Metropolitan Library [Parsons Branch] [Rm. 3], 1113 Parsons Ave.

On November 7, 2023, Ohio citizens voted to pass Issue 2, a ballot initiative that would legalize cannabis statewide. However, many Republican lawmakers have already begun to attack Issue 2 and are already trying to pass new restrictions before Issue 2 goes into effect. With everything moving so fast, people are left to wonder: What happens next? What is or is not legal? Where will the tax revenue go? What does this mean for the broader conversation around criminal justice reform? Join us on December 16 to hear from those who are working on the issue.

Speaker: Tim Johnson

With 30 years in Safety and Security, a background in Criminal Law, and as a retired Law Enforcement Officer and a U.S. Air Force Veteran, Tim Johnson is a strong activist within the cannabis community. Founder of Cannabis Safety First, he offers services from dispensary training to legislative advocacy. Tim’s passion extends to drug policy reform, criminal justice, and supporting veterans.

Join us for a social after the event at Hey Hey Bar and Grill, 361 E. Whittier St.
