COLUMBUS, Ohio — Key investors in a campaign to legalize marijuana use in Ohio include a former pro-basketball star, a pro-football player and a fashion designer.

ResponsibleOhio on Friday released the names of 11 key investors in its campaign to legalize marijuana for medical and personal use in Ohio. The investors, along with other supporters, are members of the investment groups that will own and operate the 10 marijuana grow sites to be specified in the group’s proposed constitutional amendment.

“The campaign is honored to have such well-respected businesswomen and men, as well as patient advocates supporting our effort to offer a common-sense solution to Ohio’s failed drug policies,” Ian James, ResponsibleOhio’s executive director, said in a press release.

ResponsibleOhio’s plan would create a system where marijuana would be grown at only 10 locations and then sold to manufacturers to turn into candies and other products or consumers at retail shops and medical dispensaries. The proposal does not change Ohio’s laws against individuals growing marijuana, either for sale or personal use, which marijuana advocates have criticized. [Read more at the Cleveland Plain-Dealer]
