In 2015 Lachey had been in the part of the pro-marijuana coalition with a motive to legalize pot in the Buckeye State. The group included members like fashion designer Nanette Lepore and Arizona Cardinals’ defensive end, Frostee Rucker. According to the Washington Post, each member of the group had paid $4 million to underwrite the ballot campaign with an estimated $10 million to purchase the land.
The 2015 campaign to legalize recreational marijuana in Ohio failed and a new venture had been formed with an entirely new group of investors. ResponsibleOhio cofounder James and Gould are back with another plan and invest $45 million.
