2. They want it both ways......

Ultimately, the voter loose as do many, many innocent by standers of the community. These so called non-violent criminals kill with AIDS, drug deals, ripping off their neighbor, causing chaos where-ever they go with their scams and con-games!

8. Marijuana is decriminalized in Ohio

If you possess only one joint or a few, you get $100 fine, not a jail sentence.
