The only reason it was tossed in the trash can is because of the way the language in the proposal was written. I voted it against it because of the language and the fact that they were attempting to use the Ohio Constitution to create a monopoly and give a select few special interests control over the whole damn thing. But, make no mistake, there will be other initiatives, and hopefully with better language in them. It did exactly what I expected to do, and failed the first time, just like with casinos.

I agree that if someone steals from you or causes harm to another, then you punish them for that crime. Other than that, what people do in their own lives so long as they don't harm others isn't my business, your business, nor the business of the government's. Secondly, you usually aren't hearing about the average "pothead" knocking over a convenience store to get "their fix." But hey, carry on with the Reefer Madness hyperbole!

It was more than monopoly language

It allowed for marketing and research campaigns near college campuses... Creating a whole new class of addicts...alcoholics burn out too quickly.. Potheads can be milked longer

Shades of big tabacco

It wanted in pure totalitarianism to stop local control whatsoever through use of building code to regulate mj... Very important since this is how communities have been very successful at controlling this scourge

We spend inordinant amount of resources on damaged people instead of just saying
No... We won't support your thirst for being high at the expense of our communities

It will be rewritten.. Way to much blood money available to take advantage of damaged human beings

Time after time I have seen doper parents turn out doper kids.. As a matter of fact use them in indentured slavery to trim for them...
Kids smelling like skunk weed 24/7

Good on a job application if they can actually make it through school with lowered iq's from mj use in the formative brain. Soon dopers will want to be protected as a class.. Already see it...

There.. Fixed it for you

Read all about marijuana
Rocky mountain high report august 2015

See how well the experiment is really working with real evidence

Do not believe anything someone who uses drugs says... Lie lie lie
Lie to themselves first and foremost
Then to everyone else

Sorry about your dad, but why should others have their individual liberties restricted, because some folks have no control over themselves? It's the same insane logic that gun grabbers have....welp we gotta ban guns and restrict the rights of others, who have done nothing wrong, because some gangbangers continue to shoot up their hoods, or some random nut job goes into a public place and goes postal!

You have the 2nd Amendment part right. Here let me help you...


Guns= 2nd Amendment which is in the Constitution.
Cannabis prohibition= No Amendment in the Constitution= un-Constitutional.
