Yet alcohol is legal and causes how much death, damage, and destruction? I would take a full on trade any day. We would open new avenues of research and develop actual researched medicine out of cannabis, all while eliminating alcoholism and associated health problems.
Meanwhile that Crook Dewine signed a bill making to-go cocktails permanently legal - despite the OUI/ alcohol related death statistics. His whole argument falls in upon itself. But Mike’s money is apparently more important than the Ohioan quality of life
That's the idea, in Ohio, alcohol is a huge economic staple for the states revenue...it guarantees all the problems that come along with alcoholism, health problems, domestic violence, violence in the street, public intox/disorderly conduct, dui, and numerous others. Cannabis will undoubtedly affect the revenue the state can collect via legal fines. I don't think it'll be legal at a federal level until they pinpoint an on the spot testing method that quantifies how high you are at that moment. After that I think states will eventually come along. I think states that are big producers of corn will trail slowly behind because, well, the relationship between corn, alcohol, and the meat industry. Too many aspects of our economy is reliant on grain.
While I really appreciate your post, as someone who works for state government, these people have no interest in being educated and that’s the problem. They are interested in confirming their bias.
Fuck that. Send him reports that show people taking money to dispensaries outside of Ohio. She him that everyday he keeps weed illegal here is another day an Ohioan takes their money to MICHIGAN and spends their money there.
Makes me think politicians just take money or own a part of the drug cartel, why the fuck would they not want to be able to tax all of this shit that we would buy. Why the fuck would they care about us getting in car wrecks? They don’t care about all of the drunk driving arrests and accidents. So fucked up
I don't wish harm on anyone and Dewine seems like a nice guy even though I despise his ideology, but I do look forward to when these old fucks die off so change can finally happen.
I wish this were true, but as we see, Whiney DeMike, just like insect vermin, laid a bunch of eggs and a younger hatchling has infested Ohio’s Supreme Court.
Do you ever wonder what the “issue will be in 50-60 years from now? I’m assuming marijuana will be legal then, but what will gen Z’s die on this hill political issue be?
Maybe I'm too optimistic but I really feel like, while these personalities and opinions will always be around, they'll finally be the minority opinion and also out of power because the contemporary young adults will get wise and just move past them.
Dewine pissed off a lot of his supporters with the whole mask mandate and appointing Dr Acton. He is just pandering to them to try to get elected again. From now to the election everything Dewine says or does is going to do nothing but support the wacky rural folks who got pissed at him. Those same folks who get shitfaced with alcohol every week but think pot is bad.
Nobody that was pissed about his dumb mandates is going to hop back on the dewine train because he doesn't like weed. We still want dewine gone. Renacci is a rat so I guess I'm voting blystone.
I refuse to spend a penny in Ohio. I make the trip up to Detroit once every few months. The $80/ounce flower, premium stiizy pods, 10g of shatter for $100, and all the other deals are what keep me going back.
Dewine is 75 years old. Seventy. Five. Years. Old. He should be retired by now. Instead he’s “protecting” us from potential car accidents? Cell phones and alcohol are more harmful. His term is up in November. He’s outta here!!!
With three different initiatives out right now it's not really up to him. He can veto, but unless the Dems and Republicans in the GA really hate each other's bills and the public initiative that's likely to come before them then it seems like we have a good shot even without DeWine.
Does he realize how much of that delicious tax money he’s missing out on? I don’t give a damn about the whole state of Michigan, but fuck me they do seem to be doing something right up there.
Yep. Preach about freedom and less government, meanwhile all they ever do is try to create laws which suppress and take away the rights of people, especially minorities and women.
You bump your fn head?!! Have you seen the loss of rights, absurd taxes, and complete lunacy in the blue cities and states?! Don’t even get me started on the crime rates and murders. I think the both sides as a whole are trash, but I’ll take the lesser of the two evils, ANYDAY!
What I find funny is prior to the election when I was doing my research on the candidates, I had found that DeWine actually was in favor of legalizing Marijuana. This was one of my reasons for voting for him. As soon as he was in office though, all of his viewpoints changed. I regret ever voting for the douchebag. The only positive thing he's done in my perspective is sign a bill allowing nursing home residents to put cameras in their rooms to prevent elder abuse, but that was even copying about 8-9 states that had already done that so you can't really give him full credit for that. Other than that, I can't think of anything else he's done worth him continuing to be in charge.
Dewines one of those people that refuses to be more open minded about thing's and just believes that people are far more dangerous while high or medicated then people that have consumed alcohol which we all know is far from the truth. There might be a 2-8% danger with someone's that's high and that probably just falls on if it was their 1st time smoking where as someone that is drunk it's probably literally atleast a 98% danger risk and doesn't really matter if it's their 1st or 10 time drinking.
The current Medical program in Ohio is a cash cow. Legalization will dry up this source of revenue for the State and early investors in the program will be winnowed.

The only hope is for the current petition to be ignored by the legislature, then the second petition gets enough votes to go on the ballot. If the first petition gets through DeWine will veto it.
But let's keep voting Republicans in, Ohio! They totally care about your freedom, and definitely don't want to just gerrymander and lobby against you to line their pockets!
Your view of change is furthering a liberal agenda. That's why Republicans vote R. We got stand your ground law, expanded castle doctrine, soon to be constutional carry, pro life, no mask mandate. And weed is still easy to find and it's decriminalized here as well. Dems would fuck everything up but you'd get rec weed. Not a fair deal
Folks like DeWine believe that a state full of stoned Black citizens will result in them overthrowing the white majority. These folks actually believe this horseshit. Weed is only illegal because of racism. Of course DeWine wants to keep it illegal. It's the primary way of disarming minorities in Ohio currently.
Marijuana is big business now. Wealth management companies are applying for dispensary licensing and with the potential investment return I doubt the investment lobbyists will change their minds. Dewine is as much of a tool as any other Dem or republican. Whatever is best for profiteering will be what goes through.
Dewine is fucking worthless
Any news today u worthless fucking governor

Exactly, and even though medical marijuana is legal here it can only be vaped or eaten. But smoking cancer sticks is still perfectly legal.
Leave my alcoholism alone.
DeWine is preaching fear, uncertainty, and doubt. His objection is OUI, which has already been addressed:
While I really appreciate your post, as someone who works for state government, these people have no interest in being educated and that’s the problem. They are interested in confirming their bias.
Done!
The Revenue that we would make after the taxation of marijuana would help organize programs to help minimize these problems
Fear mongering is the Republican way.
Fuck that. Send him reports that show people taking money to dispensaries outside of Ohio. She him that everyday he keeps weed illegal here is another day an Ohioan takes their money to MICHIGAN and spends their money there.
Vote Joe Blystone!
Dewine is a cunt
I bet he doesn't oppose those envelopes of cash he gets for hating on it
Exactly. Or he is taking it in on the medical community. Whatever it is, cash is involved. You can book it. These crooks are all the same.
Makes me think politicians just take money or own a part of the drug cartel, why the fuck would they not want to be able to tax all of this shit that we would buy. Why the fuck would they care about us getting in car wrecks? They don’t care about all of the drunk driving arrests and accidents. So fucked up
Let's vote him out.
Last I knew, he's not seeking re-election. He's just trying to still be annoying at this point
Vote Joe Blystone!
Blystone 2022
This is the first time I’ve seen a mostly educated comment section
Same. I'm surprised the boomers aren't in here ruining this sub like they normally do.
I don't wish harm on anyone and Dewine seems like a nice guy even though I despise his ideology, but I do look forward to when these old fucks die off so change can finally happen.
👏🙏🤝
I agree but it seems like these fucks are hell bent on taking down the country with them as they die off.
I wish this were true, but as we see, Whiney DeMike, just like insect vermin, laid a bunch of eggs and a younger hatchling has infested Ohio’s Supreme Court.
I was really hoping the Rona was more effective against the boomers!
I couldn’t have said it better myself

Vote Joe Blystone!
There is nothing wrong with that. Many people feel that way.
Well I oppose DeWine. He can go get fucked
Vote Joe Blystone!
Dewine pissed off a lot of his supporters with the whole mask mandate and appointing Dr Acton. He is just pandering to them to try to get elected again. From now to the election everything Dewine says or does is going to do nothing but support the wacky rural folks who got pissed at him. Those same folks who get shitfaced with alcohol every week but think pot is bad.
I find it very funny that they voted for Kasich twice and Dewine once and now hate them both with a passion.
Nobody that was pissed about his dumb mandates is going to hop back on the dewine train because he doesn't like weed. We still want dewine gone. Renacci is a rat so I guess I'm voting blystone.
We need to make it recreational. Fuck this guy.
vote libertarian
Welp, looks like I’ll keep giving my money to Michigan! $80 6 grams of live resin will keep me going back any day
I refuse to spend a penny in Ohio. I make the trip up to Detroit once every few months. The $80/ounce flower, premium stiizy pods, 10g of shatter for $100, and all the other deals are what keep me going back.
hell yeah
I swear! I'll glad take the trip to Michigan with no issue!!
Where the fuck do you go? Lol Pm me please!
Let's remember this when it comes time to vote for a new governor!
Dewine is 75 years old. Seventy. Five. Years. Old. He should be retired by now. Instead he’s “protecting” us from potential car accidents? Cell phones and alcohol are more harmful. His term is up in November. He’s outta here!!!
Vote Joe Blystone!
Time to get rid of the old windbags and hire/vote for someone who wants to help us.
The day he was elected I knew he was going to just bring his outdated opinions on matters .
I will stand by the statement that ohio will not legalize until its federally legal
Legalization is not the same as decriminalization
With three different initiatives out right now it's not really up to him. He can veto, but unless the Dems and Republicans in the GA really hate each other's bills and the public initiative that's likely to come before them then it seems like we have a good shot even without DeWine.
Does he realize how much of that delicious tax money he’s missing out on? I don’t give a damn about the whole state of Michigan, but fuck me they do seem to be doing something right up there.
He doesn’t care because the ohio GQP has money in the private prison industry and they have to keep arrests up
Pot is the primary way minorities are disarmed in Ohio.
Man can we stop voting Republican from this point on, they're always in the way of what the people want and need.
Yep. Preach about freedom and less government, meanwhile all they ever do is try to create laws which suppress and take away the rights of people, especially minorities and women.
I say do the opposite. Vote for Republicans who aren't like this. CHANGE the Republican party by voting.
You bump your fn head?!! Have you seen the loss of rights, absurd taxes, and complete lunacy in the blue cities and states?! Don’t even get me started on the crime rates and murders. I think the both sides as a whole are trash, but I’ll take the lesser of the two evils, ANYDAY!
this is why we need to vote libertarian, literally solves all the issues

Cool! I’ll keep driving over state lines to give away my tax revenue.
Has he tried letting the people who live here & pay taxes decide?
No shit
Mike DeWine is a whiny dumbass.
I am going to just say...
Big government conservative and Trump enabler Dewine.
Ok, so vote yes on weed and no on Dewine.
If this is news to you, I dont know what to say
Anyone else notice the use of the word "probably" in his very last quote?
I sent a very long email just like everybody else should that's for marijuana
Can you dm Me the email address
Of course he does. He’s out of touch. Are we supposed to be surprised?
Cool. I oppose DeWine.
DeWine is a swine
We oppose you being are Governor Dewine times are changing an its time for you to go!!
Vote Joe Blystone!
He needs voted the hell out he’s done nothing but screw the citizens of Ohio
This guy must hate votes
Dewines one of those people that refuses to be more open minded about thing's and just believes that people are far more dangerous while high or medicated then people that have consumed alcohol which we all know is far from the truth. There might be a 2-8% danger with someone's that's high and that probably just falls on if it was their 1st time smoking where as someone that is drunk it's probably literally atleast a 98% danger risk and doesn't really matter if it's their 1st or 10 time drinking.
I want DeWine out of office simply for the shit he's done to the LGBTQIA+ community. Fuck him. Vote blue when his election comes up.
He’s a republican shit! Of course
And his party calls him a liberal, pffbbbsstttt.
DeWine has always been like this. Ohioans are lucky he believed in taking the virus seriously, if only for a while.
He opposes his job this year too, people in Ohio want legal marijuana
Efff Dewine he can sit on it 🥒
The current Medical program in Ohio is a cash cow. Legalization will dry up this source of revenue for the State and early investors in the program will be winnowed.
he sucks
Dumbass
He can hate all he wants but if the people want it that should be enough
So Michigan will keep getting the tax revenue then? If people want it it’s still easy to get.
DeWine is ossified and ignorant.
DeWine is a piece of crap. He’s only saying all this crap now to save his re election bid. He’s more progressive than his words lead to be.
He'd rather keep watching Ohioans die from opiates.
honestly really excited I get to use my first ever vote to help vote this mf out of office
Boo
fuck this cunt.

But of course he does
Legalization is best
Sugar man says he is opposed to legalizing Dewine.
What a cuck
Hit him on Election Day. I will Actively campaign against him.
Hopefully he won't be our governor after November
We should just do some "peaceful protests" if they dont let us get recreational. Works for other types of groups.
Surprise Mikey and his husband Frank Dewine oppose something that helps Ohio. How someone hasn't swung on him at a public event is beyond me.
Nerd
Fuck this guy for real
Dewine is a fucking asshole
A Christian Conservative scared of cannabis, what a shock!
He needs to be voted out!!
The only hope is for the current petition to be ignored by the legislature, then the second petition gets enough votes to go on the ballot. If the first petition gets through DeWine will veto it.
But let's keep voting Republicans in, Ohio! They totally care about your freedom, and definitely don't want to just gerrymander and lobby against you to line their pockets!
It’s not a political ideology issue.
People need to wake up it's not just Republicans it's not just Democrats it's all of them period
Of fucking course he does.
Your view of change is furthering a liberal agenda. That's why Republicans vote R. We got stand your ground law, expanded castle doctrine, soon to be constutional carry, pro life, no mask mandate. And weed is still easy to find and it's decriminalized here as well. Dems would fuck everything up but you'd get rec weed. Not a fair deal
Fuck DeWine!!!
Good thing most people don't like him 🐢
I just said the exact thing to my husband. I think his base dislikes him more than those that didn't vote for him. They turned on him like jackals
Fuck dewine 🤷♂️
Just mad covid didn't kill him and his wispey voiced wife.🤷♂️
[удалено]
you’re an asshole, how could you wish death on someone even you disagree with??
He is the Biggest Nerd in OhiO!
Nerds are smart, he’s just a little dweeb
You can suck my dick deWine!
Little piece of shit is probably getting kickbacks from the medical monopoly we have going right now.
Old white ppl
Time to get this goofball out of office! Him and that woman who translates for him! You know... the one who looks like it could be his sister
Gee, thanks old white dude
He's probably hoarding it all for himself.
Bitch ass probably sends his staff to michigan to pick up his weed
Dewine and biden have to go.
He won't get reelected and not because of this. He is exposed. A democrat in republican clothes doing democratic things. Ohio is done with DuhWine!
Good thing nobody gives a fuck what he thinks already
What a cuck
I can't call him Daddy anymore if he doesn't change his stance. IT'S JUST A LITTLE WEED, DAD. NO ONE'S DYING UNLESS FETTY IS INVOLVED. 🙄
WHEN IS HE UP FOR RE-ELECTION
He will be out in the mid term
Little prick oil a spitting image of Mr. Mackey from southpark. Yes? Drugs are bad mkay....🤣🤣
Get him out
Yeah and nobody in the state of Ohio wants to listen to this stupid fuck
I fucking hate this.
yeah, no surprises here!
we oppose DeWhine!
Yeah he says alot of dumb shit ...... That's just one part of his antique ways of thinking.
This guy sucks boo this man.
Dipokle
Mike, you own voters are calling you Stalin. You allowed armed terrorists to terrorise Dr Amy Acton.
Folks like DeWine believe that a state full of stoned Black citizens will result in them overthrowing the white majority. These folks actually believe this horseshit.

Dewine is as much of a tool as any other Dem or republican. Whatever is best for profiteering will be what goes through.
Lucky for us it doesn't matter what he wants, he was elected to do what the people tell him to do.
Do you sincerely think that Republicans care what you want? It's been evident for years now that they don't and will do what lobbyists tell them to do
Have you even paid attention to redistricting?
Good
Easy fix for that, trains😉
