Over the weekend, officers with the state’s eradication unit located and burned over 22,000 plants in Pike County. Those plants, estimated to be worth nearly $22 million, were burned on-site, and took the coordination of multiple state agencies. This was the third big marijuana discovery this month, with the others being in Muskingum and Licking Counties. The eradication unit, which was established 20 years ago, has continued to work hard to fight the increasing marijuana supply grown within the state. or to read more about the weekend’s events, please click here.

The OF-1-MIND campaign is an action-oriented advocacy and education campaign designed to create a shift in public opinion and to increase local and state support for community-based mental health and addiction services and recovery supports. OF-1-MIND will mobilize Ohioans to communicate the knowledge that addiction and mental illness are diseases of the brain and that treatment works and people recover.
