Oh well. When other states dig this monopoly and we wonder how the fuck we got here, we won't have to look very far. Mirrors are never far away
Look at the opposition to measure 3 and support for measure 2

Do those people look like they would support medical/recreational cannabis even if there was no monopoly criticism?

I'm sorry this isn't more universally seen as a bad thing.
Keep marijuana illegal in Ohio totalling ~20K arrests/year for possession & sales

or

Vote yes on 3 and let 10 independent firms grow it legally in the state, and let anyone over 21 buy it and/or grow up to 4 plants

How in the world do you see this as bad? I don't understand where you are coming from, can you help me out?

legalize it bitches. A monopoly is better than illegal. Once the cat is out of the bag you can't put it back in. This is just the start

Fuck that don't vote please do your research before making this mistake. "A marijuana monopoly" as put in this article below. Understand that if you live in Ohio and this passes you will be forced to buy your medicine from 1 of 10 state owned stores (greedy millionaires who don't care about our culture, just looking for the next great investment money can buy). Wise up don't let them trick you into thinking this is revolutionary.

What really killed it was the other issue, regarding the 10 groups that were to run large farms to supply the 1150 pot stores that were expected to open. People didn't like the monopoly issue regarding that....

And it lost by a WIDE margin, so it's not going to happen any time soon, if ever.

Same thing happened in Oregon. The people didn't like how the law was written and it failed the first time. Then they rewrite the law and it passed. No big surprise.

That is true, I was just remembering how felt the first time it lost,
I did not look into the ohio law at all, its also strange how the black market usually votes not to legalize, they want to keep thier mortgage cash cow alive,, sad but true

There will always be a black market, whether pot is legal or not because they can price it lower, sometimes 1/2 to 1/3 cheaper because they don't have to pay taxes, payroll, government fees and licenses, etc., etc. As an example, N.J. stores are selling their 10% THC products for around $450 (or a bit higher with taxes) and the high end dealer can charge 300-350 and still make a killing.

Its not good enough for the medical patients in my opinion. You can only grow 4 total plants? Thats weak shit, many patients will end up still breaking the law by exceeding plant count.
