Is that what your voting machines look like? That’s fucking terrifying, like some dystopian body harvesting machine.
Depends where you are, in my county we use paper fill in the bubble ballots and put them through a scanner at the end. They look like expensive trash cans
more privacy than a urinal
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A 10% tax will be imposed on purchases, to be spent on administrative costs, addiction treatment, municipalities with dispensaries and social equity and jobs programs supporting the industry itself.
Republican Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman said lawmakers may also reconsider “questionable language” regarding limits on THC, the compound that gives marijuana its high.
GOP Secretary of State Frank LaRose first submitted petitions to the Ohio General Assembly on behalf of the coalition in January 2022, triggering a four-month countdown for lawmakers to act.
LeafLink, a large wholesale cannabis marketplace, commended Ohio residents on approving Issue 2 and urged lawmakers to promptly enact the law as passed.
“This vote presents a tremendous opportunity for the state where legal adult-use sales are projected to exceed $1 billion annually,” Policy Director Rodney Holcombe said in a statement.
We have witnessed firsthand the positive impact of legalized cannabis, including job creation, tax revenue for vital government services and unique business opportunities for entrepreneurs.”

Even if it becomes federally legal, so many workplaces are going to drag their feet on updating or dropping their drug screening policies. And IIRC we don't have a reliable test yet for determining if someone toked up an hour ago or a month ago.
My democratic government says yes, but my autocratic board of directors says no.
I was told after so many states made something legal it was made federally legal after that. How far are we from Federally legal?
I'm not sure about that but we are almost halfway there with the states. It's clear where this direction is headed and the federal government is just dragging its feet to drag its feet.
They have to hold onto it longer so they can drag out the promise of legalization to win votes during elections.
Biden promised it during his campaign. I'm sure when he said he'd make it happen he meant in his SECOND term.
He stated a now ongoing process to reschedule it. It's been reviewed and recommended to be rescheduled.
He's not a king, he can't arbitrarily change or repeal laws without involving the rest of the bureaucracy. What exactly do you think he can do unilaterally? And before you say "Executive order", That's not how it works
Pretty sure this isn't true but if enough states do something it puts pressure on the federal government to accept it and change laws.
