A group that is trying to legalize marijuana in Ohio has gotten enough signatures for the state legislature to look at their proposed legislation.
The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol measure will be review by the Ohio House and Senate in the coming months. The proposal will allow people over 21 years old to buy up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and 15 grams of concentrates. Plus, individuals would be able to grow up to six marijuana plants. The sale of products will be taxed 10% and the tax money would be used for job programs and addiction treatment programs. If the state legislature doesn't act, then the group will have enough time to gather more signatures to put the issue on the November ballot. Ohio voters rejected a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana for recreational use in 2015.
