Corinne LaMarca and Senator Mark Romanchuk discuss the campaign to oppose Issue 2 legalization of marijuana.

Corinne LaMarca shares the tragic story of her daughter's death by a driver impaired by marijuana. Her daughter was tragically taken by a driver in Cleveland who was severely impaired by marijuana. He was traveling at a high rate of speed and collided with Corrine's daughter's car. Her daughter passed away at the scene while the impaired driver had no injuries. Corrine tells her story to warn others of what the marijuana industry has planned for Ohio if Issue 2 passes.

Part 2 Senator Mark Romanchuk sounds the alarm on Issue 2. If it is passed, legalizing recreational marijuana in Ohio, all Ohioans will suffer while a few get wealthy. The business community, the medical community, law enforcement, and the faith community have coalesced together to oppose Issue 2. Issue 2 legalizes an addiction-for-profit industry at the expense of our families and poses substantial risks to the public health and safety of all Ohioans, especially children and adolescents, given marijuana’s high potential for abuse. It increases the likelihood that users will endanger others by driving while under the influence. It heightens the risk of workplace injuries and employer liability. Vote NO on Issue 2. Let's not let Ohio go to pot.
