OHIO BALLOT ISSUES 1, 2 AND 3

In the debate about marijuana, Issue 1 has been largely overlooked.  I am voting YES on Issue 1 because the current system of apportionment is totally unfair.

I am voting NO on Issue 2 and YES on Issue 3.  I must preface my remarks by stating that I have NEVER used marijuana and have no desire to do so even if it is legalized.  Just as I have never tasted alcohol, it doesn't mean that my personal beliefs should dictate the usage of alcohol--or marijuana--for others. I believe that alcohol is far more detrimental than marijuana.

I have procured marijuana for the use of family members suffering from cancer. At the time, I was fully aware that I was breaking the law, but fortunately, in now admitting this, I know that the statute of limitations has expired, but I would do it again.

The only downside that I foresee is that cronies of the current administration will receive the rights of distribution and I dislike the idea that his buddies will profit.  The upside is that we would have tax revenue generated with the passage of Issue 3.

YES on Issue 1, NO on Issue 2, and YES on Issue 3.
