Just Say No to Responsible Ohio initiative

[pcduck]

Yes it was a poorly written amendment. They(special interest groups) hoodwinked the voters with "legalized" gambling, the voters weren't going to let it happen again. That word monopoly doomed it from the start.

I feel like Joe. Totally pisssed. I hope every pot smoker that voted no gets busted and goes to federal prison. LMAO But, really, I am pissssed.

The worse part is..... it takes MONEY to get a legal vote passed. Signatures, lawyers... lots of money. And, NOBODY is going to invest in a State that already said, NO.

Ohio is ***** until Federal legalization comes. I can't believe how many of my pot smoking friends voted no. I told them that they will NEVER get even a PUFF of my smoke EVER again.

I honestly believe there will be something on the 2016 ballot. hopefully something better. the one that worrys me tho is the one that says a person can posses 99 pound. wow.

It takes MONEY to get ANYTHING on the 2016 ballot and NOBODY is going to invest their money in a state that already said NO.

It just ain't gonna happen.

I agree with Rose... time for some cussing.. #@#@%##@$$!$%$&*$#@#

LOL

 

[pcduck]

You've already done that.

 

[hippy59]

You can only keep trying for a better amendment.

Here in Cali our first medical marijuana amendment before the voters failed.

The next time we had a medical marijuana amendment before the voters if passed.

A few years ago we had an amendment before voters to legalize marijuana.
It failed.

We are trying again next year.

Don't give up!

As far as I know the DPA and MPP did not throw their support behind responsible Ohio. This was an amendment that gave a few a monopoly over the business. This is not good for those that support free enterprise or freedom for that matter.

Ohio will try to legalize in the future and it will be a better amendment I am sure.

Don't give up the fight over a lost battle. Persistence will beat resistance.

Hang in there guys!

.

but your state didn't pass laws against petition based ("monopoly") amendments...

Now in Ohio if some JUDGE thinks its "this way" or "that way" he can say we (the people) need two issues voted on to pass the one amendment.
The first is an "OK" to change the document and then the actual change.
obviously either one goes down and the whole thing is shot.

Now guess who gets to pick the judge and or how to word the 1st "approval" vote... no seriously IDK but it sure makes a big difference.

Ohio didn't just shoot its self in the foot, it missed and took a head-shot.

Joe, how long have you lived in ohio? stop being so down about this. I have lived here my whole life, which is 57 years, and I am MORE amazed we even got ANYTHING on the ballot. period. as a kid in the 70's I was amazed they decriminalized weed. then it was 100 grams was cool. I remember when even a seed would get you into the boys home. stop listening to those idiots that think they know whats going on or whats gonna happen, meaning the media. there are about 4 or 5 other things that are going on that do NOT include a constitutional amendment change like issue 3 was. the way your acting a chill pill just aint gonna work. more like a call to the suicide prevention hot line. LOL. ya I am bummed as well cause ohio is a swing state and if it would have passed things would change real quickly for the states. all of them. but its not over. I watched a lot of the exit poll interviews and most that said no were concerned about eather the monopoly thing, as was handed us thanks to the fing casinos, or the fact that the edibles looked a lot if not exactly like candy a kid would eat. personally I have to give it to both causes. blame Colorado. I don't care. lol. next year, 2016, is a presidential election year. a lot more people will be voting and THERE WILL BE SOMETHING FOR US TO VOTE FOR. other then what thief were gonna put into office.

not tring to be disrespectfull to ya, we all know your bummed, but its oHIo.

Im out,,,I dont live in Ohio.
I dont give a crap whos gonna profit I want Texas Legal.

 

[hippy59]

I agree weed. even if it would have been deemed legal I was not about to pay 50 dollars to have my name put on a list to grow just to have the privalige of the feds supining that list and busting people. for growing. I would still and will grow like I have been for some time now in my basement, in secret and for my own personal use. I have no scales any longer or pipes, papers, bowls or anything like that. my smoking aparatise is ususally an apple or a potato. I can eat the evidence that way. that's how they get people with less then 100 grams in ohio. perafunalia. how ever its spelled. lol. the weed it self is a minor thing. its the roachs and papers and bongs that do people in here. you would think people would adjust to that.

trust me I'm used to it... GO Browns?

started in '72 outside an outside suburb in the north east; Akron, Cleveland, Canton area. Wasn't toking till the mid 80's so I missed that part in the 70s about the decrim... took advantage of it a few time now already :vap-bobby_on_the_be

All that said, I refuse to die in a state where I can't smoke a joint on my back porch. (w/o worrying about a neighbor calling the cops etc)
Now, seeing as I don't know just exactly when I'll be checking out of this existence/reality/life (what ever you may believe) and @ 43 I can already tell these bones ain't gett'n any younger...
"Maybe next year" is getting old
Uprooting the wife & kid and selling off family properties to move is a huge decision. It may not be suicide but its a stressful decision none the less.

:48:

 

[hippy59]

lets not go browns or Indians crazy here. I watched both stadiums being re built and neather has produced a winning team since. lol. I live Cleveland west just north of Hopkins.. ohio has never been a state that was a for runner for anything. the casinos were a big thing for me, I don't oppose gambling but I didn't want it. but it was passed and most that I talk with wish it had not been. that's another story tho. issue 3 would have been the same thing and yes I did vote for 3 and no on 2. however. I will say that since issue 3 failed I am glad 2 passed. I would have been better served the other way but that's the way it worked this time. but just cause issue 2 passed does not mean that there will be no weed in ohio. there are several other propositions going down that don't include an amendment to the constitution like 3 was. anything that would make weed legal to me at this point would be great. even 3. but it didn't happen this time.

Let's all try and watch our language. I knows that some of you are very disappointed with the results of the Ohio initiative. But let's keep our language adult-like.

If I had lived in Ohio, I would have voted NO. The way it was written was just horrible. I also do not think that it will never come up for a vote again--it will, the tide is turning. Just be glad that you do not live in a horribly red-neck backward state like Texas or Idaho. Weedhopper and I will probably die before cannabis is legalized in Texas and Idaho.

Joe, come west young man!

You got that right. I've been trying for a decade. Been out and back a handful of times. Next time, I don't plan to come back. I love the Left Coast. Top to bottom.
