Nothing was voted on.

So issue 2 goes in effect as voted on by the people at midnight.

But the government is still going to try and change it. If whenever they do. It would take 90 days from when they make it a law before it would take effect.

Did you expect anything less from your Republican representatives?

“Thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot, because pure democracies are not the way to run a country,”

“You put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot, and a lot of young people come out and vote,”

Rick Santorum

How was this voted in there? If it was a peoples Referendum- non binding The state can an will do any thing they want to fuck with it. Same thing happened here we voted in 12 plant per person in home grows in a referendum the shit heads in the state decided that was to liberal an droped it to six per person. Wait till the shops start crying to the state the laws will keep changing against the home grower.

Yeah...the key word here is Republicans. They lost so it's freak out time. They hold the trifecta in Ohio from the state legislature to the governor and that needs to change. The vast majority of them think their way is the only way. They get that state of mind from their guide book..the bible.
Today, the house bill will get its final vote. We will be limited to 6 plants and a few other things but all in all we are only going forward from here. They will tweak shit for years but the green wave in Ohio is official. Let's grow.

It seems as though they don't have any idea how to regulate it, and they're trying to delay it in order to come up with regulations that make sense.

This sounds like a massive cope, but I don't think they're entirely full of shit. The zoning, taxation , distribution of lisencing, and infrastructure fall into varying degrees of Grey area.

In missouri, the whole process was corrupt as hell, and nobody cares because it's a shithole. Ohio is facing higher scrutiny due to the recent corruption fiasco.

The cries to repeal are real, but I don't think its strictly "republican bad" there's more than a bit of nuance.

They can still change it, but it went into affect as voted on which makes it harder for them to make significant changes.

There are 32 elected Democrats in the state legislature. 66 republican. 1 vacant. Any issue they have the majority. Sadly, they will try to change things. Wasting tax dollars better spent elsewhere.
They have to keep face with their constituents.

Now we are seeing small communities withing Ohio who are banning sales or growing. This shit long from over.

The smaller cities/towns did the same out here in NY with the banning of retail shops. They couldn't ban delivery services though.

I think they just banning retail shops. Some prob banning commercial grow ops it I've not come across any bans on home growers.

Hey there. I was just reading through some of the issues you guys have been and are about to face with the legalization stuff. I've run across this recent article that describes a few of the problems faced in California and here in Canada. This might give a a sneak peek into a few things you might face in your own area, along with your own specific brand of political BS.

Yeah, it's a shame when people come out and vote, and when legislation is actually important enough for them to care. He's just representative of a loser mentality, whining when things don't go his way. He's always been kind of whiny and without anything interesting or innovative to say, which is a large part of the reason his presidential campaign went so poorly. The real shame is that big issues often require citizen-driven initiatives, because our elected officials either refuse to take a strong position or are so rigid in their dogma (or allegiance to cultish leaders) that compromise becomes impossible.

In Ohio, there was more than one proposed bill to legalize marijuana. Those jokers failed to act when they could have taken control of the situation and done things their way, so they have no right to whine now that we've taken matters into our own hands.
