One of the most surprising results from recent state elections was Ohio voters voting overwhelmingly against Big Pot. By a nearly 2-to-1 margin, they defeated a ballot measure that would have permitted the legalization of marijuana in the Buckeye State.
Misleadingly named ResponsibleOhio, the measure would have allowed the commercial production, retail sale, and personal use of marijuana. Yet despite Big Pot’s $25-million cash infusion into the effort, voters rejected the spin that marijuana legalization is safe or in the best interest of citizens.
