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.

If i get to vote, i will vote yes.
If it happens, most of us are moving there.
They should, it would be a good tax generator.
legalize extacy at the same time
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.
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?
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
I would be uncomfortable on a two lane hwy with a pothead coming at me.
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
Bad enough Ohio has a majority of Drunk drivers………..
Now you want Drunk Pot-Heads on the highways, too ?????
I am against weed and its a highly addictive drug and makes people delirious and stupid. That’s what uncle sam wants..more sheep.
The trend is clear. Eventually the fed will need to decide what course it will take. The end of is near.
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…
That does not serve the people.
People of Ohio call your representatives and ask them to vote against it by all means.
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.
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!
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”
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.
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.
I’m not from Ohio, but I do support the idea of legalized marijuana.
