Could Ohio become the 13th state to legalize medicinal marijuana?

It's about time Ohio got serious about Marijuana reform. In late May, Tom Roberts of Dayton introduced a medical marijuana bill that will hopefully pass and make Ohio the 13th state with medical marijuana legalized. Speaking as a toker, if medical marijuana passes, I'm going to do whatever it takes to become legal. Marijuana laws are the height of hypocrisy, jailing people for a benign and enjoyable activity that's far less harmful than many legal and abused substances like alcohol and prescription drugs. I'll admit to be willing to lie to not have to live in fear of being arrested for something I feel is acceptable behavior (and even if it wasn't, I'm doing nobody harm other than myself)…
