But yeah. I've heard whispers that organized crime is behind the ballot initiative. Still, I won't cry if it passes. I'll be able to grow a little and smoke a lot. Just won't be able to set up a massive farm. I'll take it.

I'm going to vote no because the ends don't justify the means in this instance. Funny, one of my co-workers, a person I'm sure you don't know (or maybe you do--know anyone who lives in Milford, Ohio?) also gave me the "at least 10 years" argument. There's nothing I know of to prevent an issue from making the ballot long before then. I therefore can only conclude that this a myth spread by the ResponsibleOhio--"Weed fans! Vote yes or it'll be another decade!"
As for organized crime, it wouldn't surprise me. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters--who was pretty much run out of Columbus for reasons I'm sure you're aware of--is very much in favor of the issue, and the private law firm he works part time at represents ResponsibleOhio. There's no bigger crook in the state than Deters.
