Voters to decide whether Ohio will become first Midwest state to legalize pot

[WestVirginiaRebel]

L.A. Times:

Ohio will vote on a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana in November, state officials announced Wednesday.

 

If the measure passes, Ohio would become the fifth state and the first in the Midwest to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, in addition to the District of Columbia.

 

A pro-marijuana group, ResponsibleOhio, gathered enough signatures to place the measure on the upcoming ballot, Secretary of State Jon Husted said in a statement.

 

The group needed 305,267 signatures and got 320,267 after initially coming up short in June.
