Ohio: Municipal Depenalization Measures
Voters in the villages of Harbor View, Risingsun and Sugar Grove approved measures to depenalize possession of up to 200 grams of cannabis for personal use.
Over the better part of the past decade, voters in over two-dozen Ohio municipalities have decided in favor of local ballot measures depenalizing activities involving the personal possession of marijuana.
