Title: Ohio votes to legalize weed today
Post by: Steingar on November 03, 2015, 02:41:57 PM: A really funny election. There is an issue basically starting a monopoly for the cultivation of marijuana. 10 sites to be run by a cabal of investors. You can have one ounce or pay a license to grow the stuff (four plants) and can have 8 ounces from your cultivation.

At the same time there's another issue that bans monopolies form the state constitution. Fun election.

I hope the legal ganja passes, I really do. I'd like to see another nail in the growing coffin for the War on Drugs. I suspect it'll take awhile for the Feds to catch up to it though.

Also the redistricting issue (issue one) passed. That's good.

Oh oh. There are going to be a bunch of pissed off college professors in Ohio today.

Can you imagine the grumbling in the faculty lounges? These professors are now going to have continue to buy their pot from the corner pusher.

Mark Twain used to quip that if the world came to an end he wanted to be in Cincinnati. Everything there happens ten years later.
