The future of recreational marijuana legalization in Ohio is in the balance. Issue 2 on Tuesday's ballot would allow adults 21 and over to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and to grow plants at home.
Don’t worry. Many lawmakers in Ohio have already said they’ll immediately overrule it via legislation. Dunno the legality of what they’ve said, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
Welcome to Republicans. They openly believe that law should never be based on the will of the majority. It’s why they draw heirarchy-focused voters. A Republican Vote isn’t “they will honor our wants and needs” as much as “I trust them to be my manager, and make hard decisions I might not like”
I think a real government needs a little of both sometimes, but a WHOLE LOT more “will of the majority” and only a little “hard decisions I might not like”. They feel the other way around.

Imagine being so brazenly undemocratic that you’d try to overturn the will of the people themselves. 😩

I’m hoping they’re just showboating… but also if they want to actually take that poison pill… it’s their own funeral.
