Yes. But who really cares?

Doritos don't last long

you consider it to be much less harmful to society than tobacco?

Are there any positives?

Well you don't have to smoke it and I know it's not physically addictive, at least I think. Just wanting to hear if there is anything negative from personal experiences.

Marijuana is like every drug in that too much of it has negatives and needs to be regulated. And it can be habit forming no matter what people say.

That doesn't mean it should be illegal. It does have medicinal purposes and frankly the country has been missing out a ton of tax dollars if you treat weed like you would tobacco and tax it.

You risk turning into a jive mothafucka.

Its funny how its gwtting more liberal everywhere in the world but in Sweden they want to make it even harsher than it already is.

Which is ironic because marijuana makes chocolate way better than it already is.

I remember a time you couldn't discuss weed on GameFaqs. It was around the time The Ballad of Gay Tony came out and the censor system got reworked. I got warned for quoting the lyrics of Gee, Officer Krupke. That had a marijuana reference. Glad there has been progress.

oh this site doesn't care at all about this subject at all anymore, any discussion of it? you couldn't even type the word weed? Forget how many yrs ago they changed that policy

Sweet, no more Michigan trips in the future hopefully.

Alcohol sales go down.

It makes the neighbor's apartment smell funky.

Hey I don't necessarily mind walking into a wall of skunky goodness every now and again.

There's lots of negatives to marijuana use but none that mean it should be a banned substance (imo)

Be prepared to spend a lot of time laughing with your friends you stoners

Oh boy are we gonna play that game where stoners pretend that weed is a sacred plant that heals all ailments and has literally zero downsides or potential health consequences worth considering, because that's a really boring game

I support marijuana legalisation and love a joint, btw

Too much of anything is bad.

That is my point although I could've driven it that way.

four percent does not equal forty eight percent that is a pretty huge mistake for a website saying marijuana could possibly lower your cognitive abilities and lower your iq eight points

Ohio will vote that down... as they did a few years ago. Too many old people, rural areas. Northern Ohio should be its own state smh

Theres negatives to everything we use now. Moderation is key.

Can't be any more harmful than alcohol.

in regards to society for profit prisons are a negative especially since they are home to many non violent criminals usually those arrested for marijuana possession
many functional members of society enjoy marijuana

I agree with that. Legalise marijuana, practise self discipline

The bill from a few years ago was voted down more because of how the bill was set up, not necessarily because of the general attitude towards weed. I have hope that this bill will do better.

Then again, we voted for Trump, so who knows.

No and it wasn't close. Trump was another first in that regard for being the first Republican president to lose after winning Ohio.

IIRC he beat Biden by around the same margin he beat Hillary, it wasn't a landslide but it wasn't really close either. Abortion is on this ballot as well.

Love it, though I haven't been in a while. My job buys the park out once a year, I'm hoping to go next year. I've been to King's Island with friends when their company buys the park for a day, so I don't know that I can go back to public days when wait times are non-existent.

Cedar point is for sure the Great Lakes vacation destination, but it's been such a long time since I've been to King's Island.

Nothing as bad as the consequences of reading this shitty topic

Which abortion amendment is on this one in Nov.? To enshrine, will it pass?

Issue 1 is to make abortion rights constitutional. I'm pretty confident it'll pass given the result from the August election where they tried to make the threshold for amendments to pass higher, presumably in anticipation of this election.
