How is this new one any different? That small group is already well established with the medicinal cannabis industry and they will get the first opportunities to expand into recreational.

@krolden @Deconceptualist The failed 2015 initiative in would have granted an actual monopoly to 10 facilities to grow #marijuana https://ballotpedia.org/Ohio_Issue_3,_Marijuana_Legalization_Initiative_(2015)#Marijuana_Growth.2C_Cultivation_and_Extraction_.28MGCE.29_facilities — actively shutting out existing businesses

The successful 2023 initiative does not grant any monopolies: https://ballotpedia.org/Ohio_Issue_2,_Marijuana_Legalization_Initiative_(2023)#Text_of_measure — it sets up an open licensing scheme where anyone can apply to grow and sell, and it sets up jobs and equity funds to give money back to #Ohio communities.
