Ohio voters have approved a ballot proposal legalizing recreational marijuana. Republican legislative leaders are expected to weigh revisiting aspects of the proposal passed Tuesday.
it's just so anachronistic that it's still illegal anywhere. nobody deserves criminal prosecution for any drug, let alone marijuana. it should be trivial paper shuffling to fix it too, it's not like it needs funding or infrastructure. just hit the fucking button!
Hope it lasts. The problem is it’s an initiated statute rather than a constitutional amendment, so that means the can be repealed or amended by the gerrymandered state legislature anytime, and Republicans are already threatening to do just that.
