Ohio AG rejects language for referendum that concerns recreational marijuana law.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has rejected summary language for a proposed referendum that would overturn a law that will change Ohio’s voter-passed recreational marijuana law and ban intoxicating hemp products. Ohioans for Cannabis Choice filed a petition for a referendum to repeal Ohio Senate Bill 56, which is set to take effect March 20 after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill into law on Dec. 19. The referendum was filed with Yost’s office on Dec. 29.
