SOMEONE should apprise these senators as to what happened in the Bud Light fiasco. It didn't work out well for the people that tried to subvert the demands of the customer.
The entire executive team was fired from the ad agency, to Anheiser Bush to InBev. Bud Light is still losing market share. Still to this day. Billions lost, forever.
In the case of these legislators, the customer is the voter. Going with the lobby money will hurt them deeply.
When a single item clicks someone to the 'off' position, that's it. That's why Bud Light is still losing money and why these legislators will lose their seat. Just for trying to subvert the will of the Ohio voters.
People "…will have to go back to drug dealers" This is what they don't understand….. My "Drug Dealers" have been trusted suppliers & friends, for most of my life (age 50). They supply good products I want. They DO NOT & WILL NOT breach our trust by "lacing" anything I buy.
In fact, I believe the "lacing" of marijuana is just another "Reefer Madness" urban legend. Why would a "dealer" do this? It would cost them more to do this & most customers would never return, if they did it.
"“In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
– Francis Young (Drug Enforcement Agency Judge – 1988)
"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”
– Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)
“Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”
– Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)
"Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."
“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”
– William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)
"The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."
– Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)
“You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.” ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
– Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)
"Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."
– Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)
"Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I'll prove it to you. You're at a ball game or a concert, and someone's really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"
“Why is pot against the law? It wouldn't be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can't make a profit off it, would it?”
“…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”
-Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)
"If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."
– Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)
Well we know we're not going to an Ohio dispensary any time soon…. You politicians know where we're going… And we're going to a state that allows home grow. Pfff talk about freedom when you want to ban home grow. These Ohio politicians NEED to back off of our right to grow cannabis. They should be ashamed of themselves. The FOP( fraternal order of police ) of Ohio was against issue 2 and now the GOP wants to give more tax money to law enforcement. I'm fine with that but at the same time look what sore losers they are… They were against weed… now they want the money. Which they were probably going to get anyway through the tax. But for being so against it and now banning home grow… 6 plants really? You got a problem with that..? You know what??! It's a plant. Home grow needs to be allowed and 6 plants is fair. I'm tired of these corrupt politicians. This is ridiculous that they are so hurt about it that they can't accept our right to grow a hand ful of plants. They ought to be protested TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY! Start calling your Ohio politicians and tell them to allow the home grow . It's the peoples right to save money as well. This is total corporate America speaking for MR Huffman and other GOP members. We know he gets paid by first energy… Funny thing is if home grow is allowed, first energy may actually profit more! .. so they should pay MR. Matt Huffman for promoting the legalization of cannabis not the criminalizing of cannabis. Let's protest them . I hope they see this message.
