COLUMBUS, Ohio — Recreational marijuana enthusiasts are racing to get their signature count higher to make Ohio's November ballot. They need less than 700 valid signatures, a task they, and legal experts, are confident will happen — as long as the supporters focus and pay attention to detail.
"We got the news and it was, 'Okay, let's go — we're going to gather this last small amount of signatures to move on towards November,'" Haren added. Case Western Reserve law professor Jonathan Entin believes the group can get the signatures, as long as they are attentive to the process. "The devil is going to be in the details," the professor added."That's what tripped them up the first time."
