Marijuana and Cannabis News
Activist Brian Joslyn, a member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), said he didn't expect help from the Ohio Legislature in legalizing cannabis; instead, he believes the people need to do it for themselves, reports 10TV News.

| Brian Joslyn: "I think if everybody was just given a ballot right now to vote on this measure, I think it would pass" |
"I think if everybody was just given a ballot right now to vote on this measure, I think it would pass," he said.
As a lawyer, Joslyn said he'd seen the negative effects that marijuana prohibition has on dozens of clients, including a recent couple.
"His wife has cancer so he was growing marijuana and providing her with edible marijuana," Joslyn said.
Now, both the cancer-stricken wife and her husband are behind bars.
According to the Ohio Secretary of State's office, in order to get a voter initiative started, pro-marijuana groups would have to submit a petition signed by 1,000 registered voters. Once that step has been verified by the state Attorney General, proponents would have to get 385,000+ signatures from voters in at least 44 counties in Ohio.

Popularity is irrelevant when there are two competing ballot initiatives and a long and divisive history among activists. Most likely, an out of state campaign manager and funder will be required to get anything past the initial stages. It's sad, but grass roots organizing isn't together enough to pull in the proper funding.
@benjamin.reed.morris @benjamin.reed.morris I have to say, it does my heart good to read about all the people standing up, and being counted.... And seeing that the victories ...no matter how small...are still victories, nonetheless .... I take special joy in reading about Colorado, and Washington.... So many states are trying to have the same thing now.... And, at least they KEEP trying... They won't stop. WELL DONE, Colorado..!
