One of our candidates for Governor advocated the legalization and taxation of Marijuana to increase revenues.
Seven states have legalized it for recreational us: Washington, Oregon, Calif. Nevada, Colorado, Maine, Massachussetts.
21 other states have some "Medical Marijuana" laws in place, including Ohio.
It appears also that Vermont, Michigan and New Jersey may move this year on legalization. (It could also appear on the ballot in Ohio)
I suspect that in 5 years, over half of the states will have legal sports betting, and half will have legal recreational marijuana use.
Then...the next big area will be: will any states join Nevada in legalizing prostitution?
Weed is a huge money maker, but the revenue cannot to put in a bank.
Not my thing, so I am against its legalization. I believe that it will lead to more problems.

Please translate into English that first sentence. It sounds like you are saying they cannot earn tax revenue from it. I suspect that is totally wrong.
As for the second...who gives a flying fadoodle if it is or is not "your thing". Its not my thing either...but I would advocate its legality. Per your reasoning, we should go back to prohibition on alcohol....because consuming alcohol leads to "problems". Smoking nicotine, eating sugar, all lead to problems....like every bit or as bad as weed.

According to this report, after scrolling through it, it looks like the State of Ohio took in over 294 million dollars in revenue from the Ohio casinos:

Edit: Note....this does not seem to include the revenues from the Rocksino at Northfield, the JACK Casino at Thistledown....or any of the other "racinos" around the state.

I bet it wont happen .....who will give me odds ?
I bet it will sooner than later, from Cleveland.com......
......Operators of Ohio's four casinos in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo said they would welcome the opportunity to add sports wagering.
The initial response from Gov. John Kasich's office was non-committal.
"Expanding gambling has not been a priority for this administration, and that remains unchanged," the governor's office said in a prepared statement. "We're aware of the ruling and looking to see what impact it will immediately have on Ohio policies."......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now Kacich is almost done in Ohio, might run again for president in 2020 who knows. Pennsylvania is already gung ho on sports betting, Ohio will be there too.

A lot of people think Ohio isn't ready or interested in sports gaming but I think it will be more of a gold rush stampede to get their share.
Traditionally (years back) Ohio hasn't been exactly out front on new progressive ideas......we're not Utah but some areas aren't that different than Utah, historically.

My understanding is that the weed money cannot be put into the US banking system because of federal drug laws.
Who gives a rats a$$ that you want it legal. The state of Ohio wont be asking you. Alcohol leads to so many problems, but combined with weed screws people up.
Nobody after eating sugar or smoking a cigarette ever got behind the wheel of a car and killed somebody. You sitting down and devouring a whole chocolate cream pie does not effect me.

Yesterday the United States Supreme Court struck down a 1992 Federal law that prevented gambling on sports anywhere but Nevada, which was grandfathered in. This legal battle had been going on for years, led by New Jersey who had wanted to allow sports gaming in their casinos for years now, but were prohibited from doing so.
I heard reports that within 5 years, at least 32 states will start allowing gambling on sports. There are all kinds of questions about how this new status will turn out, how it will be regulated (either locally with each state, or federally...which the sports leagues would prefer).
I do not know what will happen in Ohio.....but I suspect that before long, you will be able to go to the Rocksino, the JACK casinos downtown and at Thistledown, and wager on most any sporting even you can.
Another factor that the leagues will now argue about it is that the games are their "intellectual property" and that casinos around the country cannot profit off of their "property" without the leagues getting some cut of the action.
So, there you go boys and girls, you will not have to just go to Vegas/Reno/Tahoe to wager on NFL games, NBA, MLB etc. Or college sports.

This won't have any impact on Las Vegas since most of the actual oddsmakers and first chance at inside leaks happens there. The real impact is going to be on the mafioso bastards who still take these bets.in the old days, there would be some politicians getting whacked. 2018? Should still be interesting.

Also....after reading up on it: Prostitution is NOT universally legal in Nevada. It is only legal in certain counties...and only if it takes place withing a legal brothel. It is NOT legal in all counties, even in a brothel....including Clark Co.....where Las Vegas is. Nor is it legal in the county in which Reno or Lake Tahoe are. But it is legal in the county of the state capital: Carson City. But, if in fact, the ho business may not be doing all that well.....in 4 counties where it is eligible to have a legal brothel, none exist. See the map:

When you will have 100% sports gaming throughout the United States coupled with table games at casinos and racetracks? It will impact on Vegas which has been shifting over to a convention destination anyway.
And the old mob always went where the money was, bootlegging, horseracing, "the bug", sports betting, drugs, whatever. The federal and state governments are getting into as much legal taxable gambling as they can the result will be big time watered down gambling almost everywhere you go now.
And what politicans got "whacked" by the mob, really now they used to fight each other but kill civilians......very rare if at all. I remember a lot of connected guys way back, they ran clubs and put on festivals and parades.

Weed money can't be put into the US banking system? Then what do the 7 states where it is legal do with their "weed" money? They sure as hell don't carry cash around.
Alcohol does and will affect far more people driving a vehicle that weed does/ever will. And I can tell you....being in the business....there are more OVI arrests where prescription drugs are involved than where weed is involved.

Even if this is the case....it WILL soon change. States are not going to sit around and not let there taxes be collected because it has to be paid in cash. There are 7 states now. I showed above where likely 3 more states will legalize it this year. So the philistinian approach to this issue will not abide much longer.

From Brookings.....
........ As background, the federal government has been very clear about bank requirements. Banks are allowed to work with marijuana businesses, as long as they file reports and comply with a heavy set of regulations. Treasury Department guidance states that banks are still required to file suspicious activity reports even in states where marijuana-related activity has been legalized. Nationally, more than 360 banks and credit unions work with marijuana-related businesses, filing more than 2,000 suspicious activity reports a month — a figure that’s doubled in the past year......
Initially it was a big problem and stores did not know what to do with all the cash!

Just out of curiosity....what is the reasoning for that 60 mile rule. I mean....they don't mind this so called immorality as long as it takes place in the country? Is that why so many of those brothels have gone under? I mean....if in fact there is no objection to this enterprise....why not put it where it can be most profitable. Put it in Vegas where it can produce the most tax revenue. Maybe put it in a special (red light?) district.....but why just limit it to "the country"....where they seem to fail financially.

Not exactly true.....
Under Nevada state law, any county with a population under 700,000, as of the last decennial census,[21] is allowed to license brothels if it so chooses.[8] Incorporated towns and cities in counties that allow prostitution may regulate the trade further or prohibit it altogether.
Currently seven out of Nevada's 16 counties have active brothels (these are all rural counties). As of February 2018 there are 21 legal brothels.....
It's up to the individual municipalities.

Another oops on that 60 mile thing, Reno, NV, two brothels within 40 miles:
Reno is the most populous Nevada city outside the Las Vegas Valley, with an estimated population of 241,445 in 2015.[3] Reno is part of the Reno–Sparks metropolitan area, which consists of all of both Washoe and Storey counties and has a 2016 estimated population of 457,420.[4]
