Ohio voters reject proposal
Ohio voters reject proposal that would have legalized recreational and medical marijuana


Ohio voters rejected a ballot proposal on Tuesday that would have legalized both recreational and medical marijuana in a single vote - a vote-getting strategy that was being watched as a test case for the nation.
Failure of the proposed state constitutional amendment followed an expensive campaign, a legal fight over its ballot wording, an investigation into petition signatures - and, predominantly, a counter campaign fueled by Ohio lawmakers.
It was the only marijuana-legalization question on the 2015 statewide ballots.
With three-quarters of the votes counted, the issue was losing 65 per cent to 35 per cent



Issue 3 would have allowed adults 21 and older to use, purchase or grow certain amounts of marijuana.
It also outlined a proposed regulatory and taxation scheme for cannabis and created a network of ten growing facilities.
That feature was the target of opponents and a separate ballot question to prevent monopolies from being inserted into Ohio's constitution for the economic benefits of a few.
Campaign director Ian James assured supporters at a downtown Columbus gathering that the fight was not over, calling Tuesday's defeat 'a bump in the road'.
