State lawmakers will hold several meetings early this year, including one this Saturday at Cleveland State University, to learn more about medical marijuana and where Ohioans stand on the issue.
Here's a schedule of the meetings and information about how you can share your thoughts and stories with lawmakers.
Senate listening tour
State Sens. Dave Burke, a Marysville Republican, and Kenny Yuko, a Richmond Heights Democrat, will hold events in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Columbus to gather input about medical marijuana.
The forums are open to the public, and people who wish to speak are asked to submit written testimony to Burke or Yuko at Burke@OhioSenate.gov or Yuko@OhioSenate.gov.
A spokeswoman for Yuko said the senators plan to be at each event all day.
Cleveland: 10 a.m. Saturday in the Gerald H. Gordon Conference Pavilion, Wolstein Center, Cleveland State University, 2000 Prospect Ave E
Cincinnati: 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, Kresge Auditorium in the Medical Science Building, University of Cincinnati, 231 Albert Sabin Way

House task force
House leaders have assembled a 15-member task force that will report its findings and possibly make recommendations by March 31.
The first meeting on Thursday will be an informational meeting, according to Rep. Kirk Schuring's office, where rules will be set. Task force members will be asked to refrain from making statements during the meetings, except during the first meeting, and instead ask questions of those testifying.
People who are interested in testifying at a future meeting should email Schuring's office at rep48@OhioHouse.gov.
The task force will meet in Columbus at the Statehouse on the following Thursdays:
3 - 4:30 p.m. Jan. 28 (informational meeting, no testimony taken)
3 p.m. Feb. 11
7 p.m. Feb. 18
7 p.m. Feb. 25
7 p.m. March 10

An additional meeting will be held in April, if needed.
