So what are the next steps the bill takes? . It says above its awaiting being assigned to a committee. Anyone who knows state law and process out there? There are tons of Ohioans including myself who are in total support of this being passed! hopefully we all can get together in Ohio and get this passed into law!

Yeah Mr Heady I am glad to hear that your State is going to resubmit. California's laws have shown that people support the laws being reexamined and changed to support what the majority of people feel is right in this country, Legalization. Putting a stop to all the millions of dollars spent on law enforcement to keep brutalizing and jailing users of cannabis. its about time they have to concentrate on other more important issues. I used to be a daily smoker but constant hassle of testing and hassle wore me down to a halt a few years ago. But as i suffer from a number of annoying injuries i hope my home state of Ohio passes The Medical Compassion Act so I can quit using these opioid hard drug doctor provided remedies that only give me a hangover and short term relief all the while burning up my liver. Im ready to wake up in the morning and smoke some Purple Kush X Cotton Candy green and get on with my day in a new way and not have to worry about some dork cop with boner for pot users rifling through my car or possessions. lets all get together and change these prehistoric prejudice politically correct laws and save tax payers millions and help all of people in need of what this plant gives to us all. Its up to us, hopefully this comes to pass before were all in the old folks home or even worse underground for good. YOU CAN DO IT***********

It is being stalled in the Ohio House of Representatives. Representatives are passively refusing to give it any attention in hopes that it will go away.
