I fucking called it. Seriously, I have a comment on here from the day after the vote complaining about how the bill was still open to being edited after we voted on it and I called the they would remove the home growing part.
Capitalism baby. Can't have you producing your own stuff when the corporations can sell it to you at 10x the price.
That was absolutely what happened in California. Michigan got it right, I wish the pro-legalization groups would leverage the rivalry between OSU and Michigan to get the conservatives who are obsessed with it to get their heads out of their asses.
Anyone over the age of 21 in California can grow 6 plants, and with a medical rec, you can grow up to 24.
Getting a growers license allows for larger farms, and is pretty cheap and easy to get, provided you own the property. I will admit that getting a distribution license is enough of a hassle that I don't bother. I just sell to licenced distributors. They do the lab work, and even trim my buds for me. I started with 6 plants, and now have 50.
The thing is, we tried to pass legization as a constitutional amendment several times in past years and it always failed.
It was tried once with Issue 3 and it was a terrible proposal that would have restricted the marijuana market to specific investors and enshrined that language in the constitution so it would only be changeable with another amendment.
I don't disagree with you regarding issue 3. All I'm suggesting, is that the citizen ballot initiative was the only way it was going to pass. But you should always expect Ohio Republicans to be bastards.
