Lots of notable Ohio stories about marijuana reform even after voters soundly reject Issue 3

As reported in prior posts (here and here), earlier this week Ohioans went to the polls and voted by large margin against a controversial ballot initiative, Issue 3, which would have legalized recreational marijuana in Ohio and give exclusive rights to growing marijuana to 10 designated investors.  But, as highlighted by the headlines and stories linked below, this vote has not ended the conversations about marijuana reform in the Buckeye State:

• “Fresh Start Act moves forward without marijuana legalization“

• “Ohio lawmakers to carefully explore medical marijuana issue“

• “DeWine: Marijuana could be legalized, but must be restricted“

• “ResponsibleOhio investors could come back with new plan next year“

•  “Kasich and Colbert talk pot on Late Show“
