It wasn’t voted down on such a picayune issue. It was resoundingly rejected. People have seen the chaos and insanity resulting in the states like Colorado that have legalized and are coming back to their senses. Of course, even if this was on the ballot at the same time as Colorado’s measure, it would’ve been rejected, because Ohio hasn’t been invaded by far-left California fruits and nuts.

The issue to legalize pot for recreational and medical use is going down 65 percent to 35 percent, losing in all 88 counties with more than 48 percent of the statewide vote counted.

“At a time when too many families are being torn apart by drug abuse, Ohioans said no to easy access to drugs and instead chose a path that helps strengthen our families and communities,” said Gov. John Kasich in a statement.

I think xzins is right. No sensible person wants to write crony capitalism into the state constitution. And I don't see the "chaos and insanity" here in WA State. There was one car accident or something.

Putting a crony monopoly in a state constitution is not a picayune issue. That very issue was additionally voted on as Issue #2, and it also won.

So, those who voted down Issue 3 also voted down Issue 2. It was a huge factor.

That is NOT to say that they also opposed the legalization of marijuana, but they sure as heck didn’t want to have it legal AND give a few cronies a constitutional right to get rich off of their vote.
