Ohio just gave a nonprofit founded on opioid settlement money $20 MILLION — and it's not going to treatment beds, recovery coaches, or harm reduction. It's going to a cannabis education campaign targeting pregnant women. In this video, I break down exactly what's happening, who's behind it, why the Ohio Department of Cannabis Control is funding anti-cannabis messaging with cannabis industry money, and what this means for every Ohioan who voted YES on Issue 2.

🔥 This is the story Ohio's mainstream media isn't telling. Ohio Cannabis Report is.

📌 WHAT WE COVER IN THIS VIDEO:▶ What is One Ohio Recovery Foundation and where did it come from?▶ Why is the Ohio Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) funding this campaign — not the opioid settlement?▶ Why pregnant women? Who benefits from this messaging strategy?▶ What the campaign is leaving out about CBD, CBG, CBN, and the full cannabinoid spectrum▶ Why cannabis as an opioid alternative should be the FIRST conversation — not a footnote▶ The political history of Governor DeWine and the Ohio legislature's war on Issue 2▶ What $20 million in DCC funds should have actually funded

⚠️ THE FACTS:The Ohio Department of Cannabis Control — an agency funded by Ohio's legal cannabis industry — transferred $20 million to One Ohio Recovery Foundation to run a public awareness campaign warning pregnant women about cannabis. This is not opioid settlement money. This is YOUR cannabis tax dollars being used to run propaganda against the plant Ohio voters legalized in November 2023.

No comprehensive cannabinoid education. No discussion of CBD vs. THC. No acknowledgment that cannabis is an evidence-backed alternative to the opioids that have killed tens of thousands of Ohioans. Just fear-based messaging targeting one of the most vulnerable populations in any public health conversation.

We're calling it what it is.
