Ohio to vote on legalizing marijuana November 3.
-
People can make money off of anything. That's not a bad thing.
I agree. So you are unaware of the backlash against this bill?

No worse than booze. Legalize it and treat it as you would alcohol or tobacco.
-
Not entirely familiar with whether the amendment bypasses or requires approval from the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate, but from what I've heard from one of the two physicians in the House, the likelihood of this passing them is zero. The house chair is far too conservative to allow for it.
The evidence for clinical efficacy is mixed per a systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26103030
As for me, I'm inclined to vote for it as it's taking money away from the cartels, but I do share concerns about it creating a monopoly like we have with the casinos. Here's a Time article about the controversy: http://time.com/3921751/ohio-marijuana-ballot-measure/

As if drunk driving and heart disease didn't keep the population low enough.

Deadly Funyun runs will be a leading cause of death.

How does getting high lead to the same dangers as heart disease and drunk driving?

I don't think he was making that point but I could be wrong.How does getting high lead to the same dangers as heart disease and drunk driving?
Time to legalize this shit. It is not healthy but neither is booze and cigs. Weed is safer than alchohol, not addictive like cigs, and it is giving money to drug cartels. It makes sense so clearly our government is going to go against all reason.

Amen

Booze leads to drunk driving cigarettes lead to heart attack weed leads to whatever it leads to. You couldn't figure that out? You're just adding one more buzz to the other two.How does getting high lead to the same dangers as heart disease and drunk driving?

Weed leads to cocaine, crack, meth, heroin and death. Plus weight gain and laziness.

Right, but what does it lead to? What makes it dangerous? What negative affect of weed is comparable to those two?
-
So you agree drunk driving is bad correct? So you think it would be better if we still have drunk driving and up the ante with stoned driving?
In your zeal I think you're forgetting we already have the first two negatives with pot you will just have a third negative. That's all. Unless you think there is absolutely no downside to smoking pot.
And if that's the case then it doesn't matter. Even if it is the case I think people should be free to be stupid.
But I still don't want to see people who can't cope with the real world and have to be taken care of by the government spend that money on cigarettes booze or weed. I think that's a fair request.
(But that's another issue)

I'm just saying I think the adverse health affects of weed don't come close to those of alcohol or cigarettes.

You're nuts.
Or high.
Or blinded by a desire to be hip.
Fucked up driving is fucked up driving.
Booze weed oxy....
Maybe blow is safer. ..

Now, I may be mistaken, but I thought there were studies out there comparing drunk driving and high driving. I'm pretty sure high drivers were just more cautious.
I'll see what I can find online.

Here's a very recent study

Fat fuck weed smokers. Lazy, apathetic. End of story.
-
Smoke 'em if yea got 'em.
Was a good time, many moons ago. Been so long that I can't say if I miss it or not. Legal or illegal doesn't bother me too much.
-
I'm in that boat. I used to smoke it a long time ago so far be it for me to criticize anyone for it. I really don't care if it's legal or not I still won't be able to smoke it nor would I be inclined to at this point
