Trumbull commissioners say employees still cannot use medical marijuana

WARREN

The Trumbull County commissioners went on record today acknowledging that Ohio's medical marijuana law takes effect Thursday but clarified that the county's policy regarding the drug has not changed.

County employees still cannot use medical marijuana in any form, with or without a valid prescription, just as before.

Commissioner Mauro Cantalamessa said the county will not allow the drug to be used by county employees until state legislators clarify state laws.

To allow its use now could cause the county increased problems with liability, he said, despite the positive things medical marijuana can do.
