Comment: Not only it help medical, but I believ it help mental medical disordeds, such as ADHD oand Bi-PolorDisorder. from Mount Vernon by Alex
Comment: Can sumome tell me why marijuana is worse than alcohol? Last i checked alcohol is legal. by Jason
Comment: People are constantly doing it
anyway and when marijuana
comes from street drug dealers
there is always a chance of
violence. If it was to come
from legal sources it would be
safer than from the street and
not to mention the tax
benefits. If marijuana was
legalized there would need to
be laws made concurrently
along the lines of DUI laws. from NE Columbus by Julian
Comment: YES !, It is much safer then alcohol, something they should have done 30 years ago.And it has been decriminalized in Ohio since the 70,s from Pickerington by Teddy
Comment: In this great country, you can have an abort an unborn child but you can't smoke marijuana. Legalizing and taxing the herb will free up funds used for eradication, housing non violent inmates, and ease our overburdened court system. Drinking and driving causes more deaths each year than marijuana so why is alcohol still legal? from Delaware by Lisa
Comment: People have been smoking marijuana for a very long time and they are not going to stop.It is just like drinking and smoking.This is not going to jump up crime if anything drug dealers will get mad because they have to pay taxes just like the people who work their butts off do. from columbus ohio by tonya
Comment: they should everybody do it from columbus,ohio by Linda
Comment: They should set it up like the alcohol
stores to keep the children from
getting it. Should have been done a
long time ago. Marijuana was made
illegal by unconstitutional means,
many years ago, it's about time it got
a fair deal from OH by Tamara
Comment: better alteritive then bozz
not as bad. You do not hear of people killing themself for pot. from Col/Ohio by Tom
Comment: I think that they should look at what they did with beer and now they need to do the same with marijuana from columbus, ohio by David`
Comment: It's the biggest cash crop the United States has and we are not tapping into it. Not taxing it does not cease to make it exist, and in a time like this financially, it would make perfect sense. from Dublin, OH by Rachel
Comment: Marijuana is a drug and has been illegal for a reason. Balancing the state budget by taxing marijuana will bring further decay to our community and society at large. We need to tighten our budget belts. from Columbus,OH by Christy
Comment: i think it sould be taxed anywhere not just in one state and if it is taxed states should go after the people who grows it from lancaster ohio by dustin
Comment: it should be taxed and regulated just like alchol and tobacco from cols.
Comment: The example I heard on your report compared marijuana taxes to alcohol. This type of comparison makes any other type of DRUG appear better than. Alcolholrelated deaths, tax-funded rehab, plus years of mental, and spritral abuse in this country from alcohol abuse and legalizing it. When one lives in, around, or drive through alcohol infested neighborhoods and waitness the long-term negitive effect that alcohol has done to this entry state, you would think that intellengt city/state leaders would research this proposed solution, extra taxes, and find a more healthy tax. Now, I should watchout for delay-respondsive young drivers because they are legally HIGH on dope? Legalized by our so-called representatives?????? from Columbus/ Ohio by Johnnie
Comment: Absolutely not! There are better ways to balance the budget than to lower our standards. There is a reason marijuana is illegal and it has nothing to do with the state's budget. This is taking the easy way out. How about trying some fiscal responsibility? If we move forward with this, then we might as well legalize prostitution and child porn while we're at it. Think of the money we could make! from Worthington by Laura
