MEETING SET AT BROOKFIELD ON LAW

Brenda Heidinger, executive director of the Mahoning County Alcohol 
and Drug Addiction Services Board, will be presenting "Marijuana 101 
What Ohio's Proposed Marijuana Legislation Means for Our Communities" 
at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Brookfield High School auditorium, 614 
Bedford Road, Brookfield. The presentation looks at how passage of 
this legislation will affect schools, businesses and Ohio taxpayers.

Medical marijuana advocates in Ohio are currently circulating 
petitions and must gather more than 300,000 signatures to get the 
effort in front of voters. If voters approve the Ohio Cannabis Rights 
Amendment, it would not only legalize medical marijuana, but would 
also establish a commission to regulate it.

States that have approved medical marijuana use: Alaska, Arizona, 
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, 
Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, 
New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and District of Columbia.
