Medical Marijuana Bill Takes Root in Ohio

'In Ohio, Democrat State Rep. Kenny Yuko of Richmond Heights, a Cleveland suburb, recently introduced House Bill 478, which would legalize the use, growth and dispensing of medical marijuana for persons suffering from debilitating conditions including cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease.

“This is a very easy remedy for therapeutic relief,” Yuko says.

Yuko would like to see a number of licensed nurseries around the state growing and dispensing marijuana in limited amounts to patients whose doctors have issued them a prescription. He is careful to distinguish his plan from California-style dispensaries, which typically include neighborhood shops operating like liquor stores.'
