Our country is in the grip of big pharma, big chemicals, big banks, big industry, etc. What the people want doesn't seem to matter any more. The bill will fail or even if it passed obama will veto it. He is firmly in the pocket of the big shots.
The ohio bill was flawed, once again crooked dealing behind the scenes. Set up to favor a few rich cronies. Hopefully they will offer a better amendment later.
They introduced a bogus bill here a while back when a genuine medical pot amendment was being considered. The bogus bill was only for "charlottes web" type stuff and only for a few extremely serious and life threatening diseases and had to be certified by a doctor that nothing else would work so that 99% of medical patients wold not qualify. It was passed by the legislature and drew away enough support from the real amendment so that the amendment barely failed. The fake bill they passed still have not been implemented after around 2 years. They never intended to let anyone have medical pot in my state. Its the gop against it and dems in favor but gop has the power here.
