I'm fine with legal pot, even for recreational use. I'm not fine with it being used simply to make a small number of rich people more rich at the expense of regular people.

(80,708 posts)some pro-legalization outfits have tried to argue that it's not as bad as some of the press it is getting, but it sure sounds like Ohio can do better.
One thing I can tell you is, a loss this year is not the end of the road. Oregon voted it down in 2010 and voted for a better initiative in 2014. I suspect after several failed tries, California will vote to legalize next year, too.
Personally, I think Oregon's law is an excellent model for states to use.

(14,733 posts)I'm not interested in giving police a reason to show up at my door and decide to shoot my beagles for being 'threatening' when they run forward barking a greeting. (Not to mention even if it's legal, as a nurse I wouldn't be using, even if I wanted to try growing it as a gardener.)
So screw that.
