HOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA WILL WORK IN OHIO
COLUMBUS ( AP ) - Republican Gov. John Kasich signed a bill Wednesday
legalizing medical marijuana in Ohio, though patients shouldn't
expect to get it from dispensaries here anytime soon.
The bill lays out a number of steps that must happen first to set up
the state's medical marijuana program, which is expected to be fully
operational in about two years. The law would allow patients to use
marijuana in vapor form for certain chronic health conditions, but
bar them from smoking it or growing it at home.
Kasich's signature made Ohio the 25th state to legalize a
comprehensive medical marijuana program, according to a count by the
National Conference of State Legislatures.
