A proposal to legalize marijuana in Ohio for medical and personal use, which would place one of at least five regional marijuana-testing facilities in Mahoning County, has local college and university officials scratching their heads.
ResponsibleOhio, the Columbus-based political action committee promoting a November ballot issue to legalize the drug, would place testing labs near colleges and universities in Mahoning, Lorain, Athens, Scioto and Wood counties.
Those counties that would house the licensed testing labs are specified in the proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The purpose of those centers would be "to engage in research related to and/or to certify safety and potency of medical marijuana, marijuana and marijuana-infused products," according to the proposed marijuana legalization amendment.
"It's just way too premature for us to speculate in any way on what's being proposed" and its implications for Youngstown State University if it becomes law, said Ron Cole, university public information officer.
"We don't know what we would legally be permitted to do," Cole said, adding that the university has not discussed the matter on campus or conducted a legal review of the issue.
