Thanks to diligent efforts on the part of WDTN News, there is a clear way to grasp Issues Two and Three on the ballot Ohio voters will see on Tuesday, November 3, 2015.
>> I want marijuana legalized.
Vote No on 2 and Yes on 3.
- Vote ‘No’ on Issue 2 means you do not want to prohibit a monopoly (this then does not prohibit ResponsibleOhio’s amendment, which is considered a monopoly by the state)
- Vote ‘Yes’ on Issue 3 means you want to legalize marijuana
>> I do not want marijuana legalized.
Vote Yes on 2 and No on 3.
- Vote ‘Yes’ on Issue 2 means you want to prohibit a monopoly (this then prohibits ResponsibleOhio’s amendment, which is considered a monopoly by the state)
- Vote ‘No’ on Issue 3 means you do not want to legalize marijuana
>> I want marijuana legalized, and I want to prohibit economic monopolies.
Vote Yes on 2 and Yes on 3.
- Vote ‘Yes’ on Issue 2 means you want to prohibit a monopoly (this then prohibits ResponsibleOhio’s amendment, which is considered a monopoly by the state)
- Vote ‘Yes’ on Issue 3 means you want to legalize marijuana
- Voting like this creates a roadblock to ResponsibleOhio’s plans since the outcome of Issue 2 goes into effect immediately and therefore prohibits a monopoly and the state considers ResponsibleOhio’s a monopoly.
>> I do not want marijuana legalized, and I do not want to prohibit a monopoly
Vote No on 2 and No on 3.
- Vote ‘No’ on Issue 2 means you do not want to prohibit a monopoly (this then does not prohibit ResponsibleOhio’s amendment, which is considered a monopoly by the state)
- Vote ‘No’ on Issue 3 means you do not want to legalize marijuana
- Voting like this does not legalize marijuana, but it does allow for economic monopolies. The outcome of Issue 2 goes into effect immediately, and so economic monopolies would be legal in Ohio.
