It's still a federal offense so it'll still be a cluster fuck. If you're the dispensary it'll b strictly cash only business. Not only the buying needs to be cash only, but paying rent, utilities, taxes......all cash. No bank will want to touch you. You're a walking target for robbery.

Yes. If you don't buy from a licensed vendor then the punishment will be alot steeper, in the order of a felony...

 

Having lived in Colorado when it became legal for medial and rec, your statement is absolutely wrong. They can't legalize it in any manner without having some reform to the possession laws. And how are they going to track who you purchased your weed from short of packaging?

 

The issue with legalizing marijuana is the ignorance of almost everyone involved. The people who are for it and against it in the same. Sure in Colorado we turned a nice tax revenue for it but had nothing to show for it even years after. Crimes should go down in theory.

This is just hearsay, but I thought I had heard that the feds were easing up in the states where it is legal.

Isn't there a Ohio constitution monopoly on those casinos? Or am I thinking of that wrong?

 

It is also the same group pushing this that did the casinos. The full amendment is on line go read and make an EDUCATED choice. Just look at how the casinos turned out.

 

As far as medical goes they are going to get a raw deal on this language.

 

I am voting no on that and the bill the reps are putting out to block the way they are going about this.

 

The feds are kicking around declassifying it and letting the states deal with the mess.

Piggers gon pig.

They said the video doesn't represent them. Clearly it does. Overbearing wannabe heros and another black eye for law enforcement.

Based on what I have read, I will for sure be voting for this. Allows you to grow up to 4 plants and you are allowed to carry 8 ounces on you. With 4 plants that produce an average of 40 grams in 10 weeks you could have about 5 ounces for 10 weeks. That seems like plenty of pot for 1-2 people depending on how much you are smoking. Please correct me if i am wrong on any of this information, but based on this it makes no sense to vote no.

The issue I have with it is it monopolizes the production side. Why keep the 1% the 1%? Why not regulate it like alcohol for example? Correct me if I am wrong, but can't anybody that is creative enough to come up with the funds, and has the skill set start a microbrewery? So why should Joe Schmo be able to get licensed, and grow and sell pot to local dispensaries? Why only 10 companies?

that is literally the ONLY downside i see. if that keeps all my friends that smoke out of jail then i am more than willing to allow this to pass.

The problem I have with voting in a monopoly on any industry in 2015 is:

 

1) there will still be federal issues with the cannabis industry, no matter how many states ratify growth/usage.

2) That "personal plant" language smacks so hard of pandering to a lower-class that I find it insulting. Talk about a bait-and-switch after it generates enough votes to allow the corporations in.

The plants also have to be bought through the monopoly as well.

Let's not forget they want to make this an amendment to the state constitution, which for me is 100% reason to vote NO on 3. I'll also be voting yes on 2.

Do you know how much weed your friends can currently have and NOT go to jail? Under current law, they can have up to 100g, no jail time, no criminal record, and a $150, even if they get caught. I personally don't know anybody that has been caught with small amounts of pot and faced any of those consequences, and I know a lot of people that smoke a lot of pot.

Yup.

And in doing so youll Never see the law change for many years. We have other monopolies in the state now....I don't see you boycotting electric, Nat Gas or Cable.....and don't try the "you have a choice" with those....because you might....but they are all the same paying the SAME place with your payments....That's a Monopoly.

The funds involved to start a brewery have a high level of entry, not to mention all the different state laws that make competing with the bigger guys incredibly tough.

But under the law, you can still compete...correct? Are there any laws that state, "OH can only have 10 breweries, and those breweries can only be Company 1, 2, 3...10.?"
