Me either and I live in OH. Guess we aren’t a lost cause after all. LOL

Did the same with in state gambling and yet we now have casinos ... just give the pot heads some time and pot will be legal here as well. Sad

It's hard to catch trends in OH because the parts of the state are so disconnected. The thinking around here (just south of Cleveland) yesterday AM was that momentum had shifted dramatically away from this horribly written legislation. The problem a lot of folks feared was that early voting would have stopped momentum from defeating it.

One factor had to be this September-like weather. Old timers who never get outside got to the polls.

The law would've been a disaster. This result is a pretty strong indication that voters ARE informed about the details of what we vote for.

Now maybe the legislators will write a sensible law for medical marijuana that's controlled by medical considerations, and doesn't create designated monopolies to control the crop.
