DEWINE REJECTS POT BALLOT EFFORT

Attorney General Mike DeWine has, for a fourth time, rejected one 
group's effort to get a medical marijuana question on Ohio's ballot.

DeWine said Friday he found at least 11 defects in the latest 
constitutional amendment proposed by the group Ohio Medical Cannabis Care LLC.

He says the summary language states that persons over the age of 21 
must obtain a registration card or certificate from the group to grow 
medical marijuana, sometimes called cannabis.

But the amendment itself says all patients over the age of 21 
"possess the right to grow medical cannabis."

His office found the summary and full text contained other 
inconsistent statements.

DeWine's earlier rejections were in July, October and January.
