Ballot Measure Issue 3 would amend the state constitution to legalize recreational marijuana in Ohio, but it would also "authorize the use of medical marijuana by any person, regardless of age, who has a certification for a debilitating medical condition."
Eventually, it will pass, and I need an answer from the experts here. I will not use a bong or a vaporizer , so what is the best non smoke way to deal with my medical issues ( after the doctor finally says okay.)

(5,417 posts)Vote no on 2.
If issue 2 passes, then it takes effect immediately, and issue 3 will not be enacted.
(Technically the ohio constitution says that if two conflicting ballot measures pass the one with more votes takes effect, but issue 2 takes effect immediately, issue 3 takes effect in 30 days)
Im sure issue 3 lawyers would argue their case if they got more votes, but I dont think they would win.
The exact text is as follows
. . .Prohibit from taking effect any proposed constitutional amendment appearing on the November 3, 2015 General Election ballot that creates a monopoly, oligopoly, or cartel for the sale, distribution, or other use of any federal Schedule I controlled substance. (Basically block issue 3)
If you want marajuana now vote no on 2 and yes on 3 is the way to vote.
