He is not the non-custodial parent if your spouse adopted the kids. He is not a parent at all. It would be basically impossible for him to obtain parental rights by attempting to utilize your use of medical marijuana in a custody dispute.

Under current state regulations they can. While the technical effective date of the voter initiated statute, is December 7, 2023, Ohio's General Assembly and the Department of Commerce and the Department of Development have yet to flesh out the new regulatory structure for the actual sale...

A landlord has the ability to evict a tenant in Ohio if they have actual knowledge that they are consuming illegal substances. Their refusal to do so could be considered a defect in the property, which could give you the ability to escrow your rent with the court until the defect is corrected.
Gummies or smoking medicinal marijuana, sold at dispenseries, has the same THC amount.

Under Ohio's medical marijuana statute, medical marijuana may not be smoked. It may be consumed in many other ways, but not smoking.
Basically we don't initially get drug tested for THC until an accident occurs and if THC comes up they either terminate you or fire you depending on who you are is this legal?

Yes. Ohio employers may terminate for THC in your system. There are no protections for employees in Ohio for use of marijuana, even medical marijuana.

It is illegal to smoke marijuana in Ohio. This is true even if you have a medical card. Your employment is also not protected from the use of marijuana even if you have a medical card. Marijuana in your system will likely be determined to be a contributing factor in any accident.
Can they charge him?
answered on Feb 9, 2023
The medical marijuana laws are quite specific and there are forms of marijuana, items of paraphernalia, and methods of consumption that remain illegal even for those with a card. You should hire an attorney to look into the specifics of your son's case.

Your question does not contain enough information to provide you an answer. It appears you have a question about timing requirements when you miss an interview with USCIS. You should contact a local immigration attorney ASAP, if you missed an interview.
Someone who lives in PA gets protections from being fired if they have a medical card. But Ohio doesn't have any of that.
So if I live in Ohio but work in PA would I not get these protections because I live in Ohio and have an Ohio medical card?

No. Pennsylvania law applies to Pennsylvania companies. They would not be able to terminate so long as you are in compliance with Pennsylvania's medical marijuana laws.

I don’t know what it means to “be on colors” in Kentucky, and I am not an attorney in Ohio, however cannabis possession in Ohio is unlawful whether in public or your home—possession of under 100 grams remains a misdemeanor. See, generally, https://norml.org/laws/ohio-penalties-2/

Ohio employers are allowed to terminate or discipline employees for the lawful use of medical marijuana. It is entirely at the employer's discretion.
i did it a long time ago and only now has anyone heard of it so now i am being threatened with prosecution without physical evidence.
answered on Sep 9, 2021
Doing drugs is technically not a crime. Possession of the drug is a crime. That being said, if you were on some type of probation etc. that prohibited the use of any drugs then that could stand. Whether or not the prosecutor can prove that you had possession of a controlled substance or if you... View More

It's a minor misdemeanor, $150 fine and court costs, but the court also can suspend your driver's license.
Or they arrest me. I don’t want to do this but they said my job would find out and I could be in a lot of trouble. What are my options?
answered on Feb 26, 2021
Well, you can cooperate and possibly avoid being charged, or you can not cooperate and be charged. If you decide to cooperate, you should do so through an attorney to make sure they don't charge you anyway.
Is it legal for me to get the medical card and is my p.o aloud to stop me from getting it if so?
answered on Feb 4, 2021
You can get a medical card, but it's only Ohio law. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law, card or no. Your PO can require that you obey ALL laws, and they usually do. That means no marijuana use.
We live in a duplex in the upstairs apt, either our downstairs neighbor or their constant guests smoke weed. The smell is very distinct and foul and illegal in Ohio. From what I've read, even medical use prohibits smoking it or cultivating. The smell invades our stairway almost daily and... View More

The landlord is required to evict anyone they reasonably suspect of using a controlled substance, including marijuana. If you put them on written notice of this, and they fail to do anything about it within 30 days you can either 1) terminate your lease, 2) sue for damages or 3) escrow your rent... View More
The charge is now preventing me from getting my ccw in Ohio and I feel like it’s ridiculous to not be able to do so based on a charge from 14 years ago when I was a stupid kid.
answered on Nov 18, 2020
Many sheriffs will not issue a CCW permit until you seal minor convictions like this. You can apply to the court to have the record sealed and the it likely won’t be an issue anymore.
My headlight was out and i got pulled over had to reach into my glove box to get my papers and my pipe was in there the officer smelled it and took it but never gave me a ticket but now i have to appear for court this don't seem legal
answered on Nov 5, 2020
They don't have to issue a ticket right away. They can send you a summons and complaint later. This often happens in paraphernalia cases because they send the substance in for lab testing before charging someone. You should get a lawyer.
