We voted against that in 2015. The number of legal permits to sell for that vote was something ridiculous like 12, if I recall. I skimmed through the text and couldn't find any specifics on what the initial limits will be other than "up to forty additional [licenses for cultivators]" and "up to fifty additional [licenses for distributors]." That sounds like a reasonable starting point.
Economically, it doesn't make sense to let all this money being spent on weed go to Michigan or Illinois, when we could offer the same services here. From a public safety perspective, I'm in agreement that legalization will lead to an increase in auto accidents and deaths, it's bad for brain development, it can cause long-term appetite/sleep issues. From a cynical woke bullshit perspective, I think the requirement for dispensaries and cultivators to be distributed in an "equitable" fashion will mean that these things will probably be most likely to pop up between hood liquor stores, pawn shops, and gun stores, and I don't think it will in any way improve our state's worst-off communities.
All said, I'm probably going to abstain on this one. Yes on 2 is going to win in a landslide.
I'm pretty much on the same page. I don't care about weed I just don't like having to work with guys that smoke it merely because it makes them stupid and they forget their parts. Same thing if a guy is drunk at the entire practice. But yes, it's going to pass with or without my vote. That's without any convoluted moral angles. Are we better off as Society with more and more ways for people to stay fucked up more and more of the time? And in the case of cigarettes sure, they're dangerous, but look at the money we make. And if I can't judge somebody's reaction to chronic pain how can I tell him that I'm doing him a favor by not allowing to have all the oxy he wants? But I digress. ?

Weed or Alcohol has never affected my ability to perform on stage and I never once forgot my parts... However... everyone is physiologically different

What's your take genius? Weed should be legal because alcohol is?
I didn't give you a take on whether I support banning alcohol and it's not up for debate so what the fuck are you rambling on about?
I also didn't give an actual reason on why I think it should remain illegal, my explanation was to inform you that I could support one issue without tying into another, comprehend?
They're very much linked
But then why do you think weed should be illegal?

Yes linked. So, you believe because one drug has harmful effects on society and self that it constitutes legalizing yet another drug that has harmful effects?
The more the merrier is your argument?

Nov 4, 2022Ten years ago this week, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64, making the state among the first two in the nation (along with Washington) to legalize the use and possession of cannabis, a.k.a. marijuana, for recreational purposes. Since then, 19 states and the District of Columbia have followed suit.

(July 19, 2021) - The Colorado Division of Criminal Justice's Office of Research and Statistics has published the latest " Impacts on Marijuana Legalization in Colorado " report, which presents data on marijuana-related topics including crime, impaired driving, hospitalizations, ER visits, usage rates, effects on youth, and more.

A new study maintains that Colorado has the third most serious drug problem of any state, with the highest percentage of both teenage and adult drug users in the country. However, the...

That's much longer than alcohol. Colorado defines marijuana intoxication at 5 nanograms of THC in someone's blood. Sam Cole is the traffic safety manager for Colorado's Department of Transportation. He says 8 percent of fatal crashes are caused by drivers intoxicated from marijuana. "We only look at

Of course they want to change it. It wasn’t their idea, so it must be bad

actually, when I voted against it, it just said generally what the bill was about.
NOT all the provisions, if I recall correctly. So, all the intricacies were not
"voted on" by Ohioans.
But that is the left -
If you read the serious problems in Colorado, of course the Reps are doing the
RESPONSIBLE thing by adjusting the IMPLEMENTATION of the law that was approved.
You think anyone who is just a regular citizen that voted to approve the pot law read the entire document? come on.

All the intricacies were in the bill that passed. They just weren’t on the ballot. If they put all the details, for every bill, on the ballot, the ballot would be 500 pages
An informed voter, which is what both sides DO NOT WANT, is supposed to read the bill, then go vote on it. But I would guess 99.9% of people just vote on what they see in TV ads or the internet

Cal, just my opinion here.
The main reason it passed was the simple provision that people could grow their own, up to 6 plants. The new tweaks on this eliminate that. Why?
Me thinks it's so the state gets it's hand$ on ALL the dough.
Secondly, they want to up the taxed sales. That's not what the public voted on.
It isn't a good look.
The Browns go up 21-17 at the end of the 3rd Quarter, and tell the NFL "we won, no need to play the 4th Quarter." Change the rules in the middle of the game. Is that ok?

Just my opinion, I don't want it legalized at all, so I'm biased, yes?
You betcha, lol.
But voting on a bill doesn't take into consideration the complications that the left wants to be kept quiet, and there isn't enough money to put it all in a bunch of tv ads.
The implementation of the law requires complexity - it isn't a simple "yes" vote for pot.
but voting to grow at home - this stuff isn't in the bill - but it is seriously relevant:

No problem with a "yes" or "no" vote at all, that's what we do.
My point is the will of the people, educated or uneducated on the issue(s) voted, voted on the issue/proposed language. Our state "representatives" have no right to alter the will of the people, regardless of where we stand.

If you don’t want pot grown in your house, don’t grow it
Should we stop people from growing tomato’s indoors, or flowers?
I know a person, who lives in suburban Cleveland, and he has a very big grow room. He doesn’t grow pot, he grows flowers and vegetables that he then transplants into his yard over the spring and summer. He’s been doing this for decadesShould he be stopped? Plants and vegetables are legal, just like pot is now
-
-
I suppose, but comparing veggie seedlings with pot plants is pretty silly.....
-
I'm 100% against the legalization, but if it is going to be legal then I absolutely think being able to grow your own few plants is how it should be.

I guess you can grow poppie, mushrooms and coca too.
