What about those that don’t want to be exposed to drunk drivers and alcohol related abuse ? I’ve never seen or heard of someone beating their wife after smoking weed. It’s always a drunk MAN who abuses their spouse.
In my late teens & 20s my friends and I would do shrooms, Isd, and ecstasy occasionally. Good times! All were positive, fun, spiritual experiences. But, it's been decades. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who can get psychedelics from. I live in LA & there's a Kush store three blocks from my house, but I can't function alone on weed. I wish they sold psilocybin gummies. I'm a little depressed & a little anxious on a regular basis. I'm not a big drinker and I hate taking pills. A bite or two of a chocolate bar, or a cup of mushroom tea everyday would be a godsent for me.
Marijuana is still federally illegal all over the us so technically everyone who supplies dispensaries is transporting drugs through the black market people are just able to legally buy and smoke it
What kills me is that they won’t give you a job in the dispensary for growing if you have a felony record for growing but the feds could walk in and give them a felony record her growing go figure that it’s not federally allowed yet they’re doing the same thing I did I don’t understand why don’t they get a felony record like they gave me
What happens next? The cartels come in to set up illegal grows that pollutes the environment, steal water and run the water table dry and brings in other crime that the cartels are involved with such as human trafficking and murders. I love cannabis but i am sorry that it is legal on the west coast. 😔
15 percent taxes booo wow thats so high thats insane and all the rules…😢😮😮 limited percentage also.. ur messing up and the black market will go crazy 😮😮😮😮
"In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
– Francis Young (Drug Enforcement Agency Judge – 1988)
"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”
– Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)
“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”
– Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)
"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."
“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”
– William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)
"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."
– Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)
“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.” ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
– Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)
"Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."
– Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)
"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I'll prove it to you. You're at a ball game or a concert, and someone's really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"
“Why is pot against the law? It wouldn't be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can't make a profit off it, would it?”
“…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”
-Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)
"If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."
– Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)
Es ist höchste Zeit für die Entkriminalisierung und Legalisierung von Cannabis in Detuschland! Die Bevormundung und Verbotspolitik ist gescheitert und schadet mittlerweile mehr als sie nützt! Wenn die SPD weiter ausbremst, nie wieder SPD wählen !!!
Yes, DEMs want legal abortions and weed…..abortions so they don't have to bring a child into Briben's Nightmare and weed so they can forget about Briben's Nightmare!!!! Way to go!!!
Can't wait to vote old foggies out😂😂😂 We the people voted for the bill th way it was . You had PLENTY of time to get things in order . Typical republican gerrymandering. Nothing dne till last minute if🎉 at all
Now we move on with lazy people who can't get a job because the weed is more important, then comes the robberies to get money to buy weed a vicious cycle, now you know why the drug cartel is moving into our country
Well one negative thing that comes along with legalization of pot in your state is the inevitable influx of Californians that will come to your state and bring their wonderful ideology with them.
The state senate just passed a bill that is changing the law as passed. This will doom the state politicians in Ohio. This is a slap in the face of all voters and may not even be legal. State reps get your resumes in order. This no longer is about marijuana, this is about telling voters that their votes do not matter, the government will do what they want regardless of what you say. The people have no voice in ohio. They celebrate the fact that it passed but you still are not allowed to purchase it. Vote Them All Out.

I sure wish Texas would go through and legalize it in Texas
"What happens next?" What happens next is people stop going to jail or get fined for stupid shit. Just let them have it.

Medicreational weed < better name
Nice…. Good to see a Gateway to other experimentation become legal ! Just what we need is more drugs !
THC limits will only keep the black market going strong and encourage more home grows. You can't enforce a thc limit on homegrown…
What happens next is the slow decay of society just like in California, Colorado and other states… Marry Jane is a gate way drug…..
Hey, dumbo, regulating the crap out of it is not going to hurt the black market.
Legalized as in the government crooks control it even more than before. How convenient.
Remember you rookies, just a couple of puffs, then wait 15 min.
You probably won't need any more.
Here come the blunt wrappers littering the environment
