A leader in last year’s effort to thwart a proposal to legalize marijuana was named Monday in Ohio to run a possible November campaign to legalize medical marijuana.
Ohioans for Medical Marijuana said Brandon Lynaugh will be the campaign manager. He worked on several previous statewide ballot issues, including the campaign last fall to defeat state Issue 3, which would have legalized marijuana grown in a monopoly of sites across Ohio. The proposed constitutional amendment was easily defeated last fall.
