    Well of course. Ohioans want abortion. Every Ohioan without their head in the sand knows that we as a state generally swing pro freedom on social issues. The only reason abortion might fail next month is due to manipulation and voter suppression.

    Hell we probably would’ve legalized recreational marijuana a decade ago if the ballot initiative wasn’t designed to create a monopoly. The more free version of that is the ballot initiative next month that’s really up in the air.

      I’m feeling confident that having marijuana on the ballot will help Issue 1 pass. Most of the stoners that are gonna come out to vote for Issue 2 will likely vote for issue one while they are at the polls

        The Republicans are desperate. I’m seeing anti issue 2 ads claiming that there’s no warning label requirements for gummies as they literally showed bags of “stoner patch kids” like 1) who’s going to give out their hard earned drugs for Halloween? 2) what manufacturer isn’t going to put a warning label on their packaging to avoid liability?

          One of the few times you will see state law enforcement enforcing federal copyright/trademark law is when weed companies make products like “Stoner Patch Kids” - which honestly is probably good for the industry, as it helps remove arguments that such knock-offs/brand parodies cause confusion in the marketplace/run the risk of inadvertent consumption (by… Children!!! (pearl clutching commences)).
