Hit Back At Big Pharma And Help Ohio Legalize Medical Marijuana

Early next month, Ohio residents will head to the polls where they will have the ability to legalize marijuana in the state. This would be a major boost to both the economy and to citizens who rely on medicinal marijuana. But the passage isn’t a sure thing.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and Woody Taft, vice president of Taft Broadcasting Company and a decriminalization advocate, discuss what’s at stake.

My in-laws are from Ohio and I spend at least a month there every year. Since I have to take hydrocodone daily for my pain, it would be good to smoke some MJ for it (pain).

do OUR homework.
Even among my legalize-marijuana friends, opposition to this bill is through the roof. Many of us would hope to see pot legal, but NOT THIS WAY. This initiative proposes an AMENDMENT TO THE OHIO CONSTITUTION. The "ResponsibleOhio" effort would provide licenses to 10 pre-ordained growers. Only those ten. Individuals would be entitled to cultivate a small number of plants, personally (is it 3?...). Law enforcement would effectively be agents of enforcing the 10 growers' monopolies.
Most Buckeyes want to legalize marijuana. But this is NOT THE WAY.
