what does this law include?

The NRA probably has the best, most up to date summary of each states laws, other than official Ohio gov site.

Yes it probably would include a "misdemeanor for marijuana", because in the previous statement clearly calls out "felony". Further down, it clarifies:

"Persons disqualified under the second or third item

above may obtain relief from disability from the court

of common pleas by presenting facts showing fitness for

relief from the state disabilities."

laws vary from state to state a little, but the federal background check forms deal with drug and alcohol abusers. The NICS database is federal, but complied from various states. What you are reading on About.com is an extremely watered down summary of a law. if you really are uncomfortable, just head on down to your local police station or call your local state attorney for clarification.
