  According to this, 16.5% of Ohio residents used a marijuana product in the last year in 2023: https://www.statista.com/statistics/723822/cannabis-use-within-one-year-us-adults/?srsltid=AfmBOopBG__ny6cU7xoRjqNfloIm00jmI_xCtFB7jmJekt5Ct7AaSp_A https://www.statista.com/statistics/723822/cannabis-use-with...
