The felon requirement would mean that if you were placed on probation for a misdemeanor and for any reason that you violated that probation. That violation would be a felony. So if you are to sick to perform community service and are violated. Then you will be denied medications for your illness. Can you deny pain pills that kill thousands each year or chemotherapy because of a felony.

not quite....

(11) “Designated cultivator” means a person who is at least twenty-one years of age; has agreed to assist patients in their medical use of cannabis; has not been convicted of an excluded felony offense; holds a valid vendor’s license and a cultivation permit issued from the Division authorizing the cultivation, possession, manufacture, transfer and sale of medical cannabis to any registered qualified patient, their designated caretaker and other permit holders.

(12) “Enclosed locked facility” means a room, building, greenhouse or garden used for the cultivation of cannabis which shall be enclosed; to be equipped with locks and kept locked whenever the cardholder is away and, in the case of outdoor cultivation sites, is also screened to obstruct the view of cannabis plants from the outside at ground level.

(13) “Excluded felony offense” means a crime classified as a felony in the jurisdiction where the person was convicted, not including:

(a) a violation of a state or federal cannabis law that was classified as a felony in the jurisdiction where the person was convicted, if:

(i.) an offense for which the sentence, including any term of probation, incarceration, or supervised release was completed ten or more years earlier; or

(ii.) an offense that consisted of conduct for which this Amendment would likely have prevented a conviction, but the conduct either occurred prior to the enactment of this Amendment; or

(iii.) an offense prosecuted by an authority in a state other than Ohio would be considered a misdemeanor in the state of Ohio.

that does not deny meds to anyone.
it denies caregiver status to SOME non MJ felons!

I like the idea! I enjoy Ohio, look at our laws on mj at the moment. 100 grams or less just a traffic ticket, I've lived in Massachusetts, Florida and now live here. Comfest,Tabfest,Hookahville woohoo!!!

Cops usually don't even say nothing as long as you aren't causing any trouble fighting etc. I'm totally for medical mj though another step in the right direction for those that need it!

[quote=whateverman;4509956]Read about the bill here. Over 73 percent of Ohians support it so it will pass for sure.

I just worry about the governor vetoing immediately after.

I'm thrilled to see this,I was born in Columbus.

As to if it will get past John Kasich-R,cross your fingers.Look at how awesome things are going in other mmj states.

New Jersey-stalled by Gov. Christie-R.

Michigan-mmj is being assualted by House Republicans and the Attorney General,an eight bill legislative package to define and clarify mmj was just introduced. I read it,it's not kind.

Colorado-permits,background checks,police cameras recording every transaction.WTF

Washington/Oregon-good luck opening a dispensary there.

Montana-They were looking good at first,now they are going backward.

Ohio has had the same two Democrats introduce MMJ legislation every year, and every year it's failed. The people are totally out of touch with the legislators here, big shocker egh?

Anyway, do you know if a governor has the power to veto this? I thought Jan Brewer in Arizona tried, but didn't have the right to or something? So she called for some sort of investigation?


Politics is not my strong suit.

[Donald Trump]

Yes, the governor can veto it.

He'll veto it. He's a certified big business slob.

[whateverman]

Hmmm...This seems to indicate that Kasich can't veto it:

"Hagan questions whether Ohio Governor John Kasich would ever sign such a bill into law. But the people might take that decision out of his hands.

Recent polls suggest upwards of 70 percent of Ohioans would support a ballot referendum...And billionaire Cleveland native Peter Lewis, chairman of Progressive Insurance, has pledged millions of his own dollars to the cause.

"If they don't pass laws, then the citizens are simply going to go around them, and maybe the laws that they will put up will be much less to their liking," St. Pierre said."

if the people want it bad enough then he most likely wont veto it because he wants to be popular. 70 percent is a big number.

it's still too early. It has to pass a bunch of other shit before it gets to the governor. I haven't even looked at it fully so i'm not sure where the bill is even at right now. It could get rejected if anything 'flawed' is found in it.

[whateverman]

Agreed. I've been researching this for the last twenty minutes. It's very confusing. My understanding is that he has no such power.
