OHIO RIGHTS GROUP SEEKS SIGNATURES TO PUT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA ON BALLOT
In the wake of Colorado and Washington legalizing the recreational
use of marijuana, efforts to change the laws in Ohio are being
debated statewide.
On May 2, Democratic state Rep. Robert F. Hagan of Youngstown
introduced House Bill 153, which would allow for the use of marijuana
for medicinal purposes. The bill did not make it very far through the
state legislature, though.
Simon Dunkle, director of media relations for the Ohio Rights Group,
said a hearing was not scheduled for the bill, and it died in the
committee stage.
