Economy and Drug Use in Amherst OH

Amherst Residents Reject Marijuana Decriminalization

In 2019, residents in Amherst voted down a proposed ordinance to decriminalize marijuana possession. The ordinance, which failed with a vote of 52 to 47, would have eliminated financial penalties and reduced other penalties for marijuana usage and possession.

The police department was against the ordinance, stating that it would protect drug traffickers, as well as drug users, and would do nothing to benefit the city. They also argued that it could increase incidents of people driving under the influence.

In 2020, the state of Ohio fell short of being able to get an adult-use recreational marijuana initiative on the election ballot. Experts say the state simply doesn't have much of an appetite for creating a recreational-use program.
