Addiction is a public health issue and we should not be using incarceration as a tool to address it.
Ever wondered how changing drug possession laws might impact your community? Ohio Issue 1 is stirring up quite the debate, and this episode of Cover 2 Resources dives right into the heart of it. This proposed constitutional amendment aims to reclassify certain drug possession crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, potentially keeping thousands out of prison. But not everyone is on board.
While supporters see it as a way to redirect funds into treatment and crime victim programs, critics worry about the unintended consequences, like weakening the effectiveness of drug courts. To break down the complexities, host Greg McNeil brings together a panel of experts: Judge David Matia from Cleveland, Tom Stuber, CEO of LCADA Wellness & Recovery Way, and Bishara Addison, Senior Manager of Policy and Strategic Initiatives from Towards Employment.
Each guest offers a unique perspective on how Ohio Issue 1 could reshape the state's approach to addiction and justice. Whether you're for or against the amendment, this episode offers a thorough exploration of the arguments on both sides, making it easier for you to make an informed decision. Tune in to hear about the potential benefits, the controversies, and what this change could mean for Ohio's future.
