Ohio Hemp

Petitions are not legally binding, however, they are a good tool to express interest in a political cause, especially when it comes to marijuana reform. If enough people sign a petition, activists and media members can refer to it and point out that the idea(s) contained in the petition have a lot of support, so therefore they should become law. Politicians love to jump on bandwagons when they see that the bandwagon has momentum. Below is a petition to legalize marijuana and hemp in Ohio, along with a link to sign it if you choose:

• To allow all adults 21 and over who currently use cannabis and hemp in any aspect to continue to do so legally, and to legally possess marijuana-related paraphernalia that will not be subject to any penalty or fine.
