The state’s elections chief says Ohio voters will have the chance to decide this fall whether marijuana should be legalized for medicinal and recreational use.
Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted says ResponsibleOhio’s legalization proposal met the state’s signature requirements to qualify for the Nov. 3 ballot. Organizers had initially fallen short of valid signatures. They gathered some 44,000 more names to meet the roughly 306,000 signatures needed.
The proposed amendment would allow adults 21 and over to buy marijuana and establish a network of 10 authorized growing locations around the state.
