Recreational Marijuana in Ohio

 
So they want to legalize it like alcohol. So can I have my own marjawana “micro brew”? If so I would vote yes.
Just the clarify, I am in no way condoning marjawana use.
But if it is going to be legal I will not support only a few “special” corporations being the only ones to produce and make money off of it.

If it is another codified monopoly, like Gilbert's gambling Amendment ballot issue was, it's a huge mistake. This is also the real reason we must require a 60% vote to Amend the Ohio Constitution.

My primary objection to recreational pot is the certainty that pot will become available to even more kids and their developing brains and emotions. It's bad for kids.

I was the kid that waited by the liquor store for someone to buy me a bottle, or snuck into the gas station with my 5 quarters to overpay for a vending machine pack of smokes. Kids will be kids.

Exactly. You should be able to grow your own in small quantities.

Kids have absolutley zero issue getting pot today.
 
If the choice is:

A. A medicinal marijuana state

OR

B. A fully legal state

I vote B…too much wink/nod/fraud with medicinal. Also, once we go fully legal, we can have a more robust conversation about the downside of marijuana…respiratory, laziness, motivation, etc...also manners, customs, “get that stink away from me”. Overall, it may not be worse than alcohol, but booze does terrible things and we’re more inclined to discuss its downside.

The pot sold in stores most likely will be too expensive for kids to pay for however I would rather have people buy the real stuff than pot laced with another drug.

This is America’s surprising youth drug crisis

America’s shocking drug crisis is harming young people more than most adults realize. Legalized marijuana has led to a spike in pot use in those under 18.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com


"We all want the best future for our children. Yet, the growth of the pot industry has provided kids with greater access to a drug that medical science links to psychosis, depression, suicidality, and lower IQ at a time when the brain is still developing. Regular users are nearly five times more likely to develop a psychotic disorder and users of high-potency marijuana are four times more likely than users of low-potency products to become addicted.

More young people are becoming addicted to marijuana, and it is sending more of them to the hospital. More of them are using a more potent form of the drug. It is past time for our nation to reverse course and advance drug policies that protect our children, rather than allow them to be collateral damage for another Big Tobacco. "

Even back in the 90's, before I was 21, it was easier to get pot than it was to get alcohol. Kids who want to get high or drink or smoke cigarettes or vape will find a way, just like they always have.

This is very obvious.

I have been saying the same thing almost since I began posting in here.

I have a lot of personal experience.

That was not this pot of today. (;) I have a little current experience, too.) It was often "dry", and def seasonal.

That we can agree on. My dad recently retired from a job that prevented him from partaking for a couple of decades. He was anxious to hop off the wagon and I had to give him a little warning about what he was getting in to.
 
It's really stunning to me that this is even considered. I'd vote against it 100 times.

One of the few deterrents of it IS because it's illegal. We have a big addiction problem in this country and this will only assist in that. I can't wrap my mind around anything that make this a good idea.
Only if you've exhausted all other avenues from a prescription side, then I'd be ok with medicinal marijuana, but that's it.
