Editor's Note: Industry constituents (and other marijuana-legalization advocates in Ohio, including a group called Better for Ohio) have been concerned over ResponsibleOhio's proposed ballot initiative, which specifically names 10 sites (to be owned by wealthy campaign financers) as the only places where cannabis could be grown. The concerns are that this establishes a monopoly in the market, potential for price control and exclusion of others from entering the marketplace (and creating healthy competition). It seems the government may have its concerns, too.
