Hamilton County’s Joe Deters, one of the state’s most hard-nosed prosecutors, says he favors legalization of marijuana in Ohio.
“You can’t turn your back on it. This is coming across the country. The key is how to regulate it,” Deters, a Republican, said today in an interview with The Dispatch.
On Monday, Deters announced he agreed to work with ResponsibleOhio, the group backing a marijuana legalization constitutional issue for the fall ballot, to establish a task force to study the impact of legalization. But he stopped short of supporting legalization.
