"November Ballot to Decide Fate of Ohio Marijuana Legalization Initiative"

Ohio's general election ballot in November will include a measure to legalize recreational marijuana use for residents 21 and older, after the initiative gathered enough signatures. The proposed measure would allow adults to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and establish a 10% sales tax on its purchase. The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol, which pushed for the measure, collected over 4,000 signatures during a 10-day extension. Ohio joins several other states that have legalized recreational marijuana use, while marijuana use remains illegal federally.
