I voted for legalization in honor of my brother Tyrsonswood who always said he would be dead before Ohio came around to allowing recreational use. Since he died May 1st of this year he was correct in that but I think he would have loved that the people of Ohio voted yes to this change.
Recreational weed is now legal in 24 states, plus the District of Columbia. One more state and we're halfway there! Ohio: Legalized in 2023 Minnesota: Legalized in 2023 Delaware: Legalized in 2023 Rhode Island: Legalized in 2022 Maryland: Legalized in 2022 Missouri: Legalized in 2022 Connecticut: Legalized in 2021 New Mexico: Legalized in 2021 New York: Legalized in 2021 Virginia: Legalized in 2021 Arizona: Legalized in 2020 Montana: Legalized in 2020 New Jersey: Legalized in 2020 Vermont: Legalized in 2020 Illinois: Legalized in 2019 Michigan: Legalized in 2018 California: Legalized in 2016 Maine: Legalized in 2016 Massachusetts: Legalized in 2016 Nevada: Legalized in 2016 District of Columbia: Legalized in 2014 Alaska: Legalized 2014 Oregon: Legalized in 2014 Colorado: Legalized in 2012 Washington: Legalized in 2012 And these 21 states have legal medical marijuana: Mississippi: Legalized 2022 Alabama: Legalized 2021 South Dakota: Legalized 2020 Missouri: Legalized 2018 Oklahoma: Legalized 2018 Utah: Legalized 2018 Iowa: Legalized 2017 West Virginia: Legalized 2017 Arkansas: Legalized 2016 Florida: Legalized 2016 North Dakota: Legalized 2016 Ohio: Legalized 2016 Pennsylvania: Legalized 2016 Georgia: Legalized 2015 Louisiana: Legalized 2015 Minnesota: Legalized 2014 Maryland: Legalized 2013 New Hampshire: Legalized 2013 Delaware: Legalized 2011 Rhode Island: 2006 Hawaii: Legalized 2000
The Feds need to wake up to the will of the AMerican people on many fronts, not just legal cannabis. We have a system in place that makes decisions based on greed and class warfare. Not a good mix. But I am seriously happy for Ohio going legal, sorry Tyrsonwood didn't make it to this time.
The voters of Ohio voted to allow recreational use as of today. The Ohio Legislature is voting to change the laws and put restrictions on what the people of Ohio wanted.
