The language on the ballot was written for a few wealthy investors to monopolize the industry in Ohio. Basically there will be 1200 licensed dispensaries around the state and they will only be able to sell marijuana grown from any of the 10 sites that are owned solely by a small number of extra wealthy investors. This year's ballot, if it passes, will make a small number of rich individuals more rich. It will not benefit your average individual. Hopefully people are aware of this. I think the wise decision would be for people to vote against and wait a year for a better proposal.
It's going to be a toss up. Ohio struggled to even get the issue on the ballot the past five years. This year the numbers were ok. But it still received less than 100,000 votes. I think this is just a big step in the right direction, but not enough for a win. And if this does pass, its going to be extremely hard to change because it will be a state amendment. I feel like people are eager to get it legalized and they don't realize they're just lining the pockets for small group of investors.
