• 2024 Ohio 1609

Syllabus

The Adult Use Cannabis Control statute, codified in R.C. Chap. 3780 due to Ohio voters' passage of an initiative petition, cannot be retroactively applied to conduct that occurred before its effective date. There is no language in the statute that expressly makes it retroactive. Appellant's trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance by failing to argue that appellant's statements should have been suppressed. The trial court also did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress. Finally, the original trial judge did not err in ruling on appellant's suppression motion and later recusing himself. Judgment affirmed.
