A proposal to legalize recreational adult use of marijuana in Ohio is cleared to appear on statewide ballots this fall…after the Republican-led state Legislature failed to act on it. The measure would allow adults, 21 and over, to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and to grow plants at home. A 10% tax would be imposed on purchases, to be spent on administrative costs, addiction treatment and jobs programs. Secretary of State, Frank LaRose determined that the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol had submitted 127,772 valid signatures, more than the 124,046 needed to put the question before voters on Nov. 7. In July, organizers had originally submitted fewer signatures than required, but were given 10 days to try again. During that grace period, they collected an additional 4,405 valid signatures.
