POT LEGALIZATION BACKERS DELIVER SIGNATURES JUNE 30

COLUMBUS (AP) - A campaign to legalize marijuana for medicinal and 
recreational use in Ohio began delivering hundreds of thousands of 
petition signatures in its effort to get the issue before voters.

Organizers for Responsible Ohio said Tuesday they were submitting 
more than 695,000 signatures to Secretary of State Jon Husted. That's 
more than the roughly 306,000 needed to qualify for November's ballot.

Husted's office will review the signatures and make the determination.

The amendment would allow adults 21 and over to buy marijuana and 
establish a network of 10 authorized growing locations around the 
state, including one in Lorain.
