The real reason the state of Ohio and Police are against Marijuana is because this will limit their ability to create revenue from traffic stops for simple possession. Additionally, the state is trying to figure out how to control and tax — pure greed. No taxation without representation should still be a thing. The government mismanages the tax revenues they have and need to stay out of this new venture that could support the citizens of Ohio through road improvement and other benefits to society.
Many news, police and politicians push the anti-marijuana rhetoric of the 1950's. Most reporters say we haven't been able to study marijuana but in reality there are 23 states legal with their own data, numerous colleges and corporations spending millions to study for the last decade or more. Why does the news always emphasize the bad but never take 10 minutes to research for themselves to identify positive benefits–almost like the talking points are handed to them. The most blatant lie being pushed or fear mongering around marijuana use is that it will lead to accidents, crime, etc. Nearly Every state that has legalized marijuana has not seen an uptick in deaths or crime directly related to recreational adult use.
Why is Ohio last to everything? Why aren't we looking at the 23 other states who have legalized marijuana for adult use and taking their legal framework as an example? We need to learn that fear mongering and placing high tax is not the correct strategy to realizing our states potential via adult use legalization.
If people vote no, there will never be a black market, kids will never get there hands on it, and there will never be a single gram of cannabis in Ohio. Then there will be world peace.
I question that ladys brain who questions other people. Does she really think because it's not legal that people under the age of 21 don't get it already like booze? She must be trolling right?
Ohio voters were fooled into voting against legalization in 2015, because black-market sellers screamed non-stop that just a few people would get rich from it, which was a lie. The liars also said, vote this bad legalization down, and we'll give you a better one next year. But next year never came, of course. — Eight years later, voters now get another chance. Let's hope they don't blow it this time!
Shame on the liars that are calling cannabis addictive. Addiction involves withdrawal symptoms that are so severe, they compel continuous use to be avoided. Cannabis doesn't have them so is NOT addictive. That's one of the many things consumers like about. — Smart employers prefer their workers consume near harmless cannabis (at home, after work), rather than addictive, very harmful, violence inducing, traffic carnage causing, hangover producing alcohol.
It's safer than alcohol consumption, and I don't see anyone pushing for prohibition even though it's ruined many lives, so just legalize it and remove the stigma. The tax money could go towards Ohio's infrastructure.

My neighbor passed from smoking spice this coulda prevented that
I have no problem with it except it's a bit much. I feel that one 3 plants and 1 oz to carry is plenty. I'm very much on the fence about this.

Not if it will create a monopoly/oligarchy.. thats what passed in 2015 when recreational and medicinal failed. Issue 3 failed, and issue 2 passed.
