What does the decriminalization of marijuana mean in Ohio? I'm not really sure what that means.

That is legislation that will make it legal to use and purchase marijuana as long as a doctor has prescribed it.

Is this going on in Ohio?
It should.
It's been tried and would make it so that there would be no jail time (though probably fines) for very small amounts of marijuana - like the amount of 1 joint or something.
There are alot of kids that get thrown into jail for smoking and getting caught. They are non violent, hold down normal jobs, and otherwise would buy it legally if possible.

It means they don't make it a criminal act if you are caught (up to a certain amount) with the marijuana on you. It would be like getting a speeding ticket, but it's still not legal.

It means it's irrelevant...The criminal penalties for marijuana related crimes were already so minor, and it is still a federal offense. So it is still against federal law to possess, use, etc. marijuana. So don't get too excited tiger.

It doesn't make it exactly legal but it is not a felony. It's probably some sort of misdemeanor now, but it is still not legal.

It means that you won't be as in much trouble for having it as it has in the past.

It means that they can start charging taxes on pot.
