    crony capitalism…$80k for a license…5k to apply…the cost of doing business minus the profitable product is a fraction of the price of the license fees. We’re being ripped off and locked out, again.

    Marijuana laws are rooted in racism, political corruption and corporate greed…

    Not should be ‘regulated’ at all – no need for the state to get involved in my freedoms

    Very tired of the mainstream media calling Ohio a Red state. It IS NOT. It is still very much a Purple swing state.

    The reason why it voted recreational use down before was because the bills were terrible (because they were created by the state itself. Citizens didn’t have the rights to grow or own their own crops and the state was literally the only vendor via the friends of the governor who would a monopoly with extremely high tax rares. No one in their right mind would vote yes for that)

    The media keepstrying to push this "red state in revolt to Republicans" narrative that simply isn’t true.

    Yes, Ohio is not happy with Republicans in charge right now, but it has more to do with their ignorance of trying to firce citizens to live how they want, instead of letting them do what they want in privacy.

    Romans 1:28
    “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”

    I’m in Illinois. Our state has made billions in revenue since legalizing it Your state is just straight dumb if it’s not legal there.

    53% of all states have legalized weed. Time to start hammering the send but on emails demanding your congressman stop allowing the DEA to enforce raids, prison, and ruining people’s lives.

    Oklahoma’s measure failed not because we didn’t want it(we do–overwhelmingly),it failed because it was a poorly written law.



  11. ColeKam on November 9, 2023 at 12:54 am

    Oh no, the dangerous pot is about to ruin that state too. Should have never been illegal to begin with.

    Anyone with a serious job not a McDonalds job still
    will not be able to have THC in their svstem.

    What this means is that the illegal dealers will just sell their stuff cheaper than what the state tax places will sell it for. I live in the NW where it is legal in some states. That means, the cops still have the dealers to deal with. Another issue, is that banks will not deal with the companies that sell marijuana. Can’t deposit your profits in the bank because of federal regulation.

    Try to put heroin in voting, everyone will vote ‘yes’, but then what? Everyone a narkoman? 🥴

    Sorry Michigan.. it’s been fun 😊😂😂

    Why aren’t we hearing anything more about Joe Biden’s millions of dollars from foreign countries bribery scandal, his obvious corrupt business dealings with his son Hunter & his JUSTIFIABLE impeachment?!?

    I can’t wait to see how trump will take credit for this. 😂
