    What are you talking about? The worst thing you could buy in a dispensary is 1000x as potent as the crap you used to buy from some stoner in the 70s.

      No use for it but, legalize and tax it. It's a lesser evil than alcohol imo..

        Legalize it

        Capitalism / oligopoly stuff aside, legalizing it is a big first step. Can fix the business aspect later

          Well it won't take care of itself, when did Big Business let go of the profits from whiskey and Percodan? But I understand people like to be fucked up. As long as I'm not inconvenienced by it; fine.

            No valid argument exists, that I've heard, for keeping alcohol legal but weed illegal. 

            People are leaving Ohio and driving to Michigan now. Lots of people. At least that revenue could stay in the state. 

            If we keep not passing this because it isn't perfect economically I'm not sure how long it would take to get passed. Better take the imperfect route now to at least make progress.

              I think you are arguing with the wrong guy. Probably easier to grow good weed in your house than to brew commercial grade beer or whiskey.

              And sure I know at least one guy that drives to Michigan for weed. He's also stupid, low income and his teeth look like he's been eating bricks. That tells me there's at least some type of addiction Factor but what the heck. I guess if it were available here it would be a little bit less of a burden on his family.

                  On this we'll agree... Without getting into specifics or naming people I have been hearing about many making the trek to Mich to get product as it were... The big problem is getting DeWino on board and some of the other Ohio republicans to at least work with the Dems to legalize it completely in the state of Ohio. But as usual... Politicians in Ohio drag their feet and bicker despite what side(party) their on...

                    One thing to consider if you have a medical MJ card in ohio (or smoke weed )The short answer is no. Despite Ohio's medical marijuana program and the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution's right to bear arms, having a medical card for marijuana makes it illegal to own, purchase, or possess a firearm or ammunition under federal law.

                    You can actually get sent to prison if you do.  Just an FYI.

                              Alcohol is already legal, marijuana is not, 2 separate issues. However, if you want to have alcohol banned go at it. I can support one issue at a time.

                                As someone who used to smoke weed and drink alcohol, I don't see why anybody NEEDS to do any of that. I've been sober for quite some time and I can honestly say neither one has made my life "better". I'm voting NO, if you need weed go get a perscription. If could ban them both I would but that's not on the ballot.

                                  Know the Risks of Marijuana

                                  Marijuana use comes with real risks that can impact a person’s health and life.
                                  • Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in the U.S. and its use is growing. Marijuana use among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women is going up. At the same time, the perception of how harmful marijuana use can be is declining. Increasingly, young people today do not consider marijuana use a risky behavior.

                                    • Marijuana Addiction

                                      Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is addictive. Research shows that:

                                      • 1-in-6 people who start using the drug before the age of 18 can become addicted.
                                      • 1-in-10 adults who use the drug can become addicted.

                                      Over the past few decades, the amount of THC in marijuana has steadily climbed; today's marijuana has three times the concentration of THC compared to 25 years ago. The higher the THC amount, the stronger the effects on the brain—likely contributing to increased rates of marijuana-related emergency room visits. While there is no research yet on how higher potency affects the long-term risks of marijuana use, more THC is likely to lead to higher rates of dependency and addiction.

                                      About Marijuana

                                      Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. Marijuana is a psychoactive drug that contains close to 500 chemicals, including THC, a mind-altering compound that causes harmful health effects.

                                      People smoke marijuana in hand-rolled cigarettes, in pipes or water pipes, in blunts, and by using vaporizers that pull THC from the marijuana. Marijuana can also be mixed in food (edibles), such as brownies, cookies, and candy, or brewed as a tea. People also smoke or eat different forms of marijuana extracts, which deliver a large amount of THC and can be potentially more dangerous.

                                      Rise of Marijuana Use

                                      Today, marijuana use is on the rise among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women. People ages 18-25 have the highest rate of use.

                                      Marijuana and THC remain illegal at the federal level, even though many states have legalized its use. In states where legal, marijuana is a fast-growing industry with sales to individuals over 21 in retail stores, wineries, breweries, coffee shops, dispensaries, online, as well as grown at home.

                                      Know the Risks of Marijuana
                                       
                                      Marijuana use comes with real risks that can impact a person’s health and life.
                                      • Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in the U.S. and its use is growing. Marijuana use among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women is going up. At the same time, the perception of how harmful marijuana use can be is declining. Increasingly, young people today do not consider marijuana use a risky behavior.

                                        But there are real risks for people who use marijuana, especially youth and young adults, and women who are pregnant or nursing. Today’s marijuana is stronger than ever before. People can and do become addicted to marijuana.

                                        Approximately 1 in 10 people who use marijuana will become addicted. When they start before age 18, the rate of addiction rises to 1 in 6.

                                        Marijuana Risks

                                        Marijuana use can have negative and long-term effects:

                                        Gears iconMental health: Studies link marijuana use to depression, anxiety, suicide planning, and psychotic episodes. It is not known, however, if marijuana use is the cause of these conditions.

                                      • Marijuana Addiction

                                        Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is addictive. Research shows that:

                                        • 1-in-6 people who start using the drug before the age of 18 can become addicted.
                                        • 1-in-10 adults who use the drug can become addicted.

                                        Over the past few decades, the amount of THC in marijuana has steadily climbed; today's marijuana has three times the concentration of THC compared to 25 years ago. The higher the THC amount, the stronger the effects on the brain—likely contributing to increased rates of marijuana-related emergency room visits. While there is no research yet on how higher potency affects the long-term risks of marijuana use, more THC is likely to lead to higher rates of dependency and addiction.

                                        About Marijuana

                                        Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. Marijuana is a psychoactive drug that contains close to 500 chemicals, including THC, a mind-altering compound that causes harmful health effects.

                                        People smoke marijuana in hand-rolled cigarettes, in pipes or water pipes, in blunts, and by using vaporizers that pull THC from the marijuana. Marijuana can also be mixed in food (edibles), such as brownies, cookies, and candy, or brewed as a tea. People also smoke or eat different forms of marijuana extracts, which deliver a large amount of THC and can be potentially more dangerous.

                                        Rise of Marijuana Use

                                        Today, marijuana use is on the rise among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women. People ages 18-25 have the highest rate of use.

                                        Marijuana and THC remain illegal at the federal level, even though many states have legalized its use. In states where legal, marijuana is a fast-growing industry with sales to individuals over 21 in retail stores, wineries, breweries, coffee shops, dispensaries, online, as well as grown at home.

                                      Alcohol is already legal, marijuana is not, 2 separate issues. However, if you want to have alcohol banned go at it. I can support one issue at a time.

                                      Why should weed be illegal? Because it isn't legal

                                      Why should alcohol be legal? Because it isn't illegal

                                      Great no argument. Either you actually support banning alcohol like you do weed or you're ignorant/disingenuous

                                        As someone who used to smoke weed and drink alcohol, I don't see why anybody NEEDS to do any of that. I've been sober for quite some time and I can honestly say neither one has made my life "better". I'm voting NO, if you need weed go get a perscription. If could ban them both I would but that's not on the ballot.

                                        Why not let other people reach the same decision you did? 

                                        Or maybe other people find it helpful in moderation. Why do you  get to take that from them?

                                          I actually agree with you to a point. But when you're talking about moderation, that's just it. Americans don't know what moderation is. Every person I knew who did the same things I did was either a full blown alcoholic or a pothead, or both. I considered myself a social drinker and smoker but even then there were times where I just went away too far.

                                          My neighbors who I'm not on good terms with, smoke pot from dawn to dusk. Every time I walk past their house I can smell the stench of weed in the air. Cars always come and go all hours of the day and night and don't stay for more than a few minutes. There's always a bunch of strange people coming and going. They walk out hand the person something and they hand them something back.

                                          Not to mention the unwanted traffic it brings, these people are "OUT THERE" if you know what I mean. They don't understand simple things. Example. These people have a garage where the bay door is broken and they just leaned a couple pieces of plywood not secured or the opening, but he also went through the trouble to install a deadbolt on the man door that he makes sure that it's locked even though you can just move the plywood and walk right in. Point is if you smoke weed from dawn to dusk it's going to melt your brain.
