OHIO NORML OUSTS LEADER FOR SUPPORTING RESPONSIBLE OHIO
One of Ohio's oldest marijuana-legalization group has kicked out its
president for supporting the ResponsibleOhio effort to legalize
marijuana in Ohio.
Rob Ryan of Blue Ash was removed in June as leader of the Ohio
chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
( NORML ). The decision comes amid escalating tensions among Ohio's
marijuana activists over how to legalize. Ryan and others see
ResponsibleOhio as an important step forward. Others see the
well-financed effort as wealthy people manipulating the political
system to cut out the little guy from what could be a billion-dollar
industry in Ohio by 2020.
Twelve members of the Ohio NORML board of directors, most of them
leaders of the nine regional chapters, voted to remove Ryan from the
state presidency. A 21-item bill of particulars complained that Ryan
has been mean to NORML members, especially those who do not share his
support of ResponsibleOhio: "Rob Ryan has taken to attacking anyone
that doesn't agree with him."
