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

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

    If you know any older people who are upset about this you can rub it in!

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

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

    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.

    What are the going to legalize next heroin? Unbelievable…



  14. B H on November 13, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    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?!?



  15. Mike Hunt on November 13, 2023 at 5:07 pm

    Merrick Garland could make weed federally legal with the stroke of a pen.
    The stigma still remains, yes had to lost its effectiveness to the point where “its illegal” is the only argument left.



  16. ILTHY_CU¥@HOOLIG∆N on November 13, 2023 at 5:10 pm

    Ohio was never a red state its a swing state covid really helped us out this election that’s for sure though you get my drift



  17. Tony Palmentera on November 13, 2023 at 5:14 pm

    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.

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