Pro Weed Group Wants To Get Petition Started

A pro-marijuana group says it will submit signatures to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office…in an effort to have the Republican-led Legislature legalize recreational marijuana. Attorney, Tom Haren, a spokesperson for the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol…says the submission of the first 1,000 signatures will require the Attorney General’s Office to review and approve petition language within 10 days. If successful, backers will then need to collect nearly 130,000 valid signatures to put the issue before lawmakers, who will then have four months to decide.
