PUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA PLAN ON BALLOT

For the second time in two years, Ohio voters might see an issue on the November ballot to legalize marijuana under limited circumstances.

Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project is proposing an amendment to Ohio's constitution that would allow for medical use of marijuana by qualifying patients with debilitating medical conditions.  The amendment also would permit the licensed and regulated cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution and dispensing of marijuana for medical use.

The group said its proposal is based on the medical marijuana laws that have been passed in 23 other states and Washington, D.C.  MPP is aiming to put the issue in front of Ohio voters in the November election.  In order to do so, the group needs to collect 305,591 signatures by July 6.
