Members of Toledo's chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws began collecting signatures on Tuesday to put the measure before voters. Mary Smith, a spokeswoman for the group, said supporters have collected 2,800 signatures so far and need 3,800 more to get the ordinance on Toledo's November ballot. The measure would prohibit police from citing or arresting someone for having, selling or using marijuana. It also would prohibit city prosecutors from trying marijuana cases. The drive is separate from a statewide effort to legalize medical marijuana in Ohio. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
