It just hasn't happened YET. It will. Maybe not as a MANDATORY thing, but yeah, at some point people will wake the F up on marijuana.
It boggles my mind just how uneducated people are about marijuana. They will type endless pages about how it is illegal and blah blah blah and have gone years doing that over and over, yet won't take a few hours out of their life to read up on some legitimate research about the positive effects of marijuana.
Hell some people (yes this is true) actually still think that marijuana is harmful because of the smoke, and do not even realize the other NON HARMFUL methods of marijuana use. It's just simply amazing to me when people tell me weed is bad and don't even know that it can be vaped or ingested in a harmless way. They look at me like I am lying when I tell them.
And, in case I need to mention it again, I do NOT use marijuana, and have not for like 15 years. Even then I only used like like 4 times. I am also a registered nurse and have talked to several rather brilliant physicians about this, all of which would LOVE the ability to prescribe marijuana in Ohio but can't yet. They share my sentiments about how people in control need to wake the F up. Thousands upon thousand of legitimately SICK people would be able to improve their quality of life a tremendous about if marijuana was legal.
