A veteran Republican prosecutor in southwest Ohio says he's not opposed to legalizing marijuana, and has agreed to lead a task force on the possible impacts of doing so.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters says he's unhappy with Ohio's marijuana laws, calling them a waste of taxpayer money. He tells The Cincinnati Enquirer he doesn't have a problem with legalization.

ResponsibleOhio, a group supporting marijuana's legalization, asked Deters to lead the committee.

Finding an affordable and efficient way of testing drivers suspected to be under the influence of marijuana is one of Deters' priorities.

He says he hopes to have a report on impacts of legalization within several months.

A proposed amendment on legalization in Ohio would license 10 marijuana farms, some of which investors have already purchased.
