It will be legal nationwide easily in the next 10-15 years or so. Enjoy the time you have left on the high horse

It wasn't even universally supported by marijuana advocates due to reasons already stated in this thread.


You're dumb as hell, btw

It was voted against because part of the law gave growing rights to just a few specific farms/companies. Corrupt bs.



This rationale makes sense.

But unfortunately OP sounded like a 70s Nixonian Drug Warrior and thus the downvotes and he calls himself a conservative.

Unfortunately when it comes to their pet issues, too many on both sides think that the government knows best, despite countless examples that contradict that.

seems like I heard today that the law was written so that it only allowed like ten or so "approved" growers and the residents of ohio just didn't trust that premise...

I have my pet issues too and the only thing that will change my opinion on them is evidence and well constructed arguments based on that evidence. Some people are just not honest and patient enough to do that.

Yeah I'm all for legalization but this monopoly legalization method in Ohio would have set a dangerous precedent. I'm glad it failed.

At first I thought it was a troll but then I remembered that I don't think I've ever seen OP discuss the War on Drugs before and he knew he was a minority opinion on this site.

I'm glad to see this fail.

My advice is to move to Colorado if you want that lifestyle.

The greater good was to legalize it. Making it legal should be a higher priority than who gets rich from it. Right now people's lives are getting ruined to make money for a few people. At least legalize it and not ruin anyone's life while still making money for a few people.

A majority of people in Ohio support legalization. They just didn't support this shitty bill to funnel the profits from legalization into a small group of corporations.

Soon, friend. Soon.

Why do that when it's going to be legal nationwide very soon before the decade is over?

I live in ohio unfortunately and every single weed smoker I now was saying that this bill sucked for a variety of reasons. I don't know much about it, but most people who are for legalization probably voted against it.

How the issue was presented was more of a problem than the weed itself.

Gotta love letting the government infringe on personal liberty and maintain a blackmarket system for no apparent reason! I love spending endless tax dollars arresting people for making decisions about their own bodies! Awesome stuff!



Did they not use the democratic process of voting? How is that the government's fault?
