If there is anyone in Ohio on the comment board I have a question I hope they can answer. Do cities who opt out of legalization still tax money from the sell of it?
Sooner or later itll be legal. The most worrisome thing is it impairs your ability's to operate automobiles jest as much as alcohol does. Governing body's must step in & create laws that Insurance company's & law enforcement can force & drug test in much the same way the breathalyzer is used especially in an auto ascendant. The city i live in dugs are free flowing & people are driving like maniacs day & night some of these people work at the schools my children attend non of witch require A pre employment drug screen. I fear that logical laws will be to little to late for A lot of family's that lose one or more loved ones to intoxicated drivers.
REPUBLICANTS DO ANYTHING RIGHT!!!! TOTAL LOSERS. See, they were only missing the T from the name…
SOMEONE should apprise these senators as to what happened in the Bud Light fiasco. It didn't work out well for the people that tried to subvert the demands of the customer.
The entire executive team was fired from the ad agency, to Anheiser Bush to InBev. Bud Light is still losing market share. Still to this day. Billions lost, forever.
In the case of these legislators, the customer is the voter. Going with the lobby money will hurt them deeply.
When a single item clicks someone to the 'off' position, that's it. That's why Bud Light is still losing money and why these legislators will lose their seat. Just for trying to subvert the will of the Ohio voters.
GIVE THESE SENATORS THE BUD LIGHT TREATMENT!! If I had a twitter account, I'd tweet that at them.
What it means is that the state will have a new source of revenue . Lets not worry about the principal of right and wrong because honestly they dont give a fck . If they cant make money on it then it doesnt exist.
The voters want it, but the governor might ignore them. We're told we run this country, but we don't. In South Dakota, the people wanted legal marijuana, and the governor just said "No." Regardless of what the people want, in South Dakota, possessing marijuana is still a crime.
You fools are living in the age of indulgence and this is not the wisest of things but the worst. There will be severe consequences, sooner than later. How short-sighted has the rush for wealth been by those who have legalized pot, that they neglected to tell this generation and the generations to come that by legalizing the right to take mind-altering drugs like pot, it can easily lead to even harder drugs like coke, crystal meth, crack cocaine, heroin, etc.
The politicians failed to admit to us that they have stock investments in pot farms and make fortunes every time a state legalizes recreational pot. Seems like a conflict of interest. Tell me, what good did it do to the generation of the 1960's who got high so often, they began leaping out of office windows on LSD and overdosing themselves to death? What good did it do to ruin their lives as drugs became the masters of their lives? Their lives were ruined in the process because their brains were ruined. And you only have one brain.
But that was the Woodstock generation. They dropped out of school, they tuned out and turned on. TV cop shows like Dragnet tried repeatedly to warn American youth about the dangers of taking drugs. Our politicians back then were sane and also tried to educate those kids back then about the dangers to their brains drugs posed.
But rock music stars and comedians and actors in movies mocked the people who issued the warnings and ridiculed them as being 'square' and old fashion. The Woodstock generation became America's least productive society up to that time. They amounted to nothing, most of them. Is it any wonder abortion arose out of that generation? Many of them ended up homeless, broke, starving, jobless, weary and aimless. Is this generation to follow their example?

OH – the next moronic lib state. Speaking from much experience, you will soon deal w/ highly impaired drivers, bad accidents, frequent accidents, overworked cops that can’t police it all, & ⬆️deaths. Don’t believe me? Spend some time in Chicago. Morons
GREAT. NOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN CONTINUE TO MARGINALIZE MARIJUANA USERS THROUGH EGREGIOUS TAXATION…IT WILL BE MORE THAN ONE TAX, AND MOST LIKELY ADD UP TO MORE THAN 20%…GTFOH
As someone from IL that went through this..here’s what I seen. Very few jobs created. More people on government assistance sitting at home getting high. Less productive people-more lazy people. It took us nowhere positive as a state. Harder to find good help. It really done nothing but bought votes for democrats trying to ruin the country…
They will still have to use cash to purchase because the banks do not accept digital credits from the marijuana industry. The federal government hasn't changed its classification just yet….. FYI
3 liberal diverse counties "approved" this crack head idea ..why should the rest of Ohioans suffer ???? More violence..impaired driving ..crime..robberys..great job once again liberal MORONS!
I am from California, our rural neighborhood went downhill since this was approved years ago!!! Neighbors started planting and it attracted shady characters – driving tinted and luxury cars!!! I hope your state get what you want!!!
They don't know I'm a greenthumb plant wizard. Tomato's. Carrots. Potato's. Strawberries. Kush. Watermelons. Onions. Sativa. Oyster mushrooms. Raspberries. Chives. Rosemary. And a couple other seasonings for the cooking.

Smoking weed is the worse decision i ever made.

KENTUCKY NEXT 🙏🏼
Congrats on making a drug legal. Really going in a wonderful direction with that idea.

If your diet is bad, if you’re fat and unhealthy don’t smoke moldy pot, mycotoxins.
A slew of brain-dead idiots…even more than now…
Great just what America needs. More drugs, can't wait to see the results in the new born babies
Way to go, Ohio!
🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴
We are still in the dark ages in Texas with the most cancer patients 😅
What it means is that they will not be able to escape the legalized putrid skunk 🦨 f*rt smell. No escaping the grossness
the people that voted no are a waste of space lol
Screw legalization
Oh, goody…another pot head state to add to the cesspool that is America.
Addiction treatment….lmfao
Authoritarian Indiana is surrounded by free states.
Go figure they legalize it years after I quit. Don’t even enjoy it anymore. Bastards
OH – the next moronic lib state. Speaking from much experience, you will soon deal w/ highly impaired drivers, bad accidents, frequent accidents, overworked cops that can’t police it all, & ⬆️deaths. Don’t believe me? Spend some time in Chicago. Morons
GREAT. NOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN CONTINUE TO MARGINALIZE MARIJUANA USERS THROUGH EGREGIOUS TAXATION…IT WILL BE MORE THAN ONE TAX, AND MOST LIKELY ADD UP TO MORE THAN 20%…GTFOH
24 states baby! Almost 50%!!
As someone from IL that went through this..here’s what I seen.
Very few jobs created.
More people on government assistance sitting at home getting high.
Less productive people-more lazy people.
It took us nowhere positive as a state. Harder to find good help. It really done nothing but bought votes for democrats trying to ruin the country…
Can you steal have concealed carry weapon and the recreational substance
Oklahoma was to stupid to do it
You’re on your way, Ohio. Glad to see you joined up. Gotta change that grow your own part, tho.
They will still have to use cash to purchase because the banks do not accept digital credits from the marijuana industry. The federal government hasn't changed its classification just yet….. FYI
3 liberal diverse counties "approved" this crack head idea ..why should the rest of Ohioans suffer ???? More violence..impaired driving ..crime..robberys..great job once again liberal MORONS!
Well being from Colorado I can say “You just killed your state!” After legalizing weed we have had nothing but huge problems.
My partners and I live in central Texas, and if they happen to pull some shit with enough anti-lgbt laws then we might look into a state like Ohio.
🫂
About time
I am from California, our rural neighborhood went downhill since this was approved years ago!!! Neighbors started planting and it attracted shady characters – driving tinted and luxury cars!!! I hope your state get what you want!!!
Whats it mean…. more people will smoke pot and become passive and do as they are told to do by the politicians.
To those 2a ppl out there dont ever have weed and a firearm thats a felony
The median iq number in the state has dropped significantly
They don't know I'm a greenthumb plant wizard. Tomato's. Carrots. Potato's. Strawberries. Kush. Watermelons. Onions. Sativa. Oyster mushrooms. Raspberries. Chives. Rosemary. And a couple other seasonings for the cooking.
