 Ohio voters in at least seven cities will get a chance to join many of their neighboring jurisdictions in enacting local marijuana decriminalization at the ballot this November.
An activists group called The Sensible Movement said in a blog post on Monday that they and NORML Appalachia of Ohio have gotten enough signatures to put the issue on the November ballot for seven cities in the state. Both groups have been working on decriminalization efforts in the state for close to a decade, and they’ve been able to put the issue to vote in many localities. So far, more than 30 jurisdictions across the state have already adopted local statues which effectively decriminalize possession. Some were adopted by city councils in major cities such as Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland. Others have been passed by voter initiatives. This fall, officials have certified that voters will be able to decide on decriminalization in the cities of Corning, Helena, Hemlock, Kent, Laurelville, Rushville and Shawnee. Comments are closed.
