Voters are deciding whether to make Ohio the 24th state to legalize recreational marijuana

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.

Nope, not as important. Marijuana legalization affects the freedom of more citizens than access to abortion.

Both should be legal of course.
