Ohio board deals blow to medical marijuana
COLUMBUS — The State Medical Board of Ohio dealt a blow today to those who hoped they might be able to legally use medical marijuana before the state put its own system of growing and dispensing pot into place."A physician is not permitted to issue a state of Ohio approved written recommendation to use medical marijuana until the physician has obtained a certificate to recommend from the State Medical Board of Ohio," the board advised Friday.Such a written recommendation is necessary in order for a patient to be able to assert the "affirmative defense" provided under the new state law if the event a patient is caught in possession of cannabis before he or she can legally buy it from Ohio's state-run system.

Bill would limit Ohio medical marijuana program's reciprocity with other states
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Medical marijuana patient ID cards from most other states would not be accepted here under a new bill -- the first attempt to tweak Ohio's new law.But a legislator who worked on the medical marijuana law said the new bill is premature and seeks to address a problem that doesn't exist.Ohio law calls for the state to enter into reciprocity agreements with medical marijuana states that have similar patient eligibility requirements.
