OHIO LEADERS DISCUSS POLICY ISSUES FACING STATE

COLUMBUS ( AP ) - Four of Ohio's statewide officers expressed opposition Thursday to an effort to legalize medical and recreational marijuana, with the state's attorney general calling one proposal "a stupid idea."

The plan would amend the Ohio Constitution to make marijuana legal for medical and personal use for those over 21 years old.

Supporters envision a network of 10 growers sending the product to designated testing facilities for safety and potency screenings.  The pot would then go to either not-for-profit medical marijuana dispensaries, retail outlets or to be infused into various consumer products.
