Ohio lawmakers introduce a bill to cover costs of replacing marijuana-sniffing police dogs after recreational marijuana legalization. Nearly 400 dogs trained to detect marijuana will need to be retired, as they cannot be reliably retrained not to alert to the presence of cannabis. State Rep. Sean Brennan and Rep. Josh Williams are lead sponsors of the bill, proposing up to $20,000 per dog for law enforcement agencies to acquire, train, and equip narcotics dogs that do not alert to the smell of marijuana.
