Call to Ohioans! Call your local representatives and tell them to support these bills! They have to hear from you, poll numbers saying the majority of Ohioans are for medical access ( and I would love for this to come up for a legalization vote there) simply aren’t enough for them to realize Ohioans want this. They need to hear from you!

It seems like we could have about state that will have some common sense.

  • Full Circle 33 says:

    If it happens, most of us are moving there.

  • John says:

    They should, it would be a good tax generator.

  • Jeff says:

    legalize extacy at the same time

  • Nick says:

    I think it should be illegal just because of it’s effects, listed here: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/marijuana-use-and-its-effects

    To all that believe marijuana is not harmful at all, please read this… you’re wrong.

    Edit: WOW. To all those who just gave me their messages about how alcohol is just as bad…. so what? All you weed smokers just want support for your terrible habit of smoking weed. You know it’s wrong but don’t want to think about how bad it is, so you try to get everyone to support you. Get a life!

    By the way… the only reason alcohol isn’t under debate of il-legalization is because it only has effects on the user… marijuana smoke, on the other hand, has effects not just on the user, but everyone around them too.

  • the night of the zombie g says:

    well, they need some jobs and that would bring some in… lot of states around Ohio that would love to spend a lot of money in Ohio on weed…

    EDIT: Nick, it’s about as harmful as alcohol… you can easily find the issues with alcohol as well online… but it is legal? so why not weed?

  • itsme6922 says:

    I could care less…..I think it should be legal and taxed…I think it’s no worse than drinking….put some laws on the books and tax it….I don’t use it and never have…just my opinion

  • More confused than usual says:

    I would be uncomfortable on a two lane hwy with a pothead coming at me.

  • White Wolf Man says:

    My state already did I live in Michigan.. And it should be legalized and taxed the government has no right telling people what they should and should not do and I do not smoke pot

  • Kon Kitty says:

    Bad enough Ohio has a majority of Drunk drivers………..
    Now you want Drunk Pot-Heads on the highways, too ?????

  • Psycho Sid Vicious says:

    I am against weed and its a highly addictive drug and makes people delirious and stupid. That’s what uncle sam wants..more sheep.

  • Los Mojados says:

    The trend is clear. Eventually the fed will need to decide what course it will take. The end of is near.

  • Terry says:

    It wont pass. We always seem to be the last to do anything. We didn’t get casinos until everyone around us had them so we end up getting nobody coming in from out.of state to gamble…

  • Leo says:

    That does not serve the people.
    People of Ohio call your representatives and ask them to vote against it by all means.

  • Ou812 Y!A Dissident says:

    I think- States Rights.

    Amendment X

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

    -The Constitution says nothing about regulation of drugs or guns. I know, I know, it’s a hard fact to swallow for some but there it is. Go ahead and look for yourself. I’ll wait. lol.

  • mommanuke says:

    Hey, Nick! Here’s what webmd says about alcohol.
    ” However, alcoholism can lead to a number of physical ailments, including hypoglycemia, high blood pressure, brain and heart damage, end-stage liver damage, enlarged blood vessels in the skin, chronic gastritis, and recurrent pancreatitis.

    Alcoholism can also lead to impotence in men, damage to the fetus in pregnant women, and an elevated risk of cancer of the larynx, esophagus, liver, breast, stomach, pancreas, and upper gastrointestinal tract. Because alcoholics seldom have adequate diets, they are likely to have nutritional deficiencies. Heavy drinkers typically have impaired liver function, and at least one in five develops cirrhosis.”

    Wanna ban it?

    Meanwhile, Yay, Ohio!

  • hurtsx2 says:

    The state is going bust. This is a desperate effort to keep Democrat support before state elections.
    “We ruined our economy and chased off employers, but hey! We will give you weed if you keep us in office”

  • Iron Patriot says:

    Hey psycho sid, no one will listen to a wrestling fan about what makes people stupid. Kon kitty, studies have shown people drive more carefully under the influence of cannabis.

    Nick, well you just don’t have a good relationship with reality.

  • qwert says:

    It’s amazing that liberals only believe in states’ rights when it comes to drug laws. Hopefully they will be too high to vote in future elections.

  • Terry Kincaid says:

    I’m not from Ohio, but I do support the idea of legalized marijuana.
