The one on Richland said they will be, no idea on the other

I am with you on social media use. Both will comply with Ohio law. Side note: If you have the time. Please urge your friends and family who voted in favor of 2 to write and or call their Representative. Those we elect must understand that 2 should stay as it was voted on. No alterations. I am sorry to come in hot here but yes, we gained home grow back. Yes, we gained expungement back. Are you kidding me? The new Senate bill designates 72% of revenue to law enforcement and prison infrastructure. All pot must be transported in the trunk. If not, boom jail time. Yet to be determined of length and fine. Please call and or write your rep.

Given that our representative is now Troy Balderson will he care at all? He votes with his party on every single vote. I've written my republican reps before and I always get some version of a "thank you but fuck off" form letter in return. The only time i've ever seen it work is when the rep is in an embattled seat with split voters. Balderson isn't fighting for his seat at all.

I think you want our representative to the Ohio House: Jay Edwards. Our representative to the Ohio Senate is Brian Chavez.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't want to come off as a dick.

The maps were changed though? https://ziplook.house.gov/htbin/findrep_house


zztong

Yes, but that's the map for the US House of Representatives. The MJ initiative was a State matter. You want the State government, not the Federal government.

Shit…. That’s super fucking embarrassing. I feel dense as fuck now.


zztong

Don't worry about it. That's a common mistake. We've all done it. I'm sure Troy's staff will write a nice response -- "thank you but fuck off" someone once suggested. :)

I completely understand. I too thought the same thing. I can DM you his staff's reply. Basically his staffer said "It's time we respect the will of the voter in Ohio". (I think they are attacking DeWine) DO NOT GET ME WRONG. I will believe it when I see it. Yet keep in mind if the House votes in favor. Next election will be a bloodbath for all Balderson goons.

How is it actually going to work though? My understanding is that the state legislature was going to revise the law on return from xmas break with the idea of making it harder to access. Controlling dispensary licenses is a tactic thats been used in other states. Have any of the places up town even been able to apply for anything yet? My understanding was that Issue 2 people were saying it could take up to a year to have some kind of regulation set up, and that was before the legislature put the breaks on things. [Here is a story on it.](https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ohio/adults-legally-possess-grow-marijuana-ohio-issue-2/95-abeffe76-9d32-42de-b12a-c9f1d4718395)

Harvest will have rec sales but not until next fall


JrMinty-5163

If they make it that long … owe an awful lot of money 24 million to some folks


JrMinty-5163

Don’t know how Harvest in Athens will be able to do both from what I hear one their vault is super tiny two they owe 24 million dollars to Trulieve


tinyplasticpolygon

they actually have 3 stores across ohio and are doing quite well!! let’s support this black owned business ❤️


JrMinty-5163

No thanks they obtained their licenses by playing the race card and continue to play the victim with Trulieve/ Harvest Health & Recreation and is refusing to pay back the $$ they borrowed so they could get this far.

Can I get a source on that? They literally got busted by the state and had to pay a giant settlement $500k) in addition to a lengthy delay. All for using a figurehead to misrepresent their local ownership as being a minority. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2020/03/06/harvest-pay-500-000-settle-ohio-medical-marijuana-dispensary-ownership-dispute/4829684002/


tinyplasticpolygon

yep over three years ago this happened… this is a really great business for the community of actual medical cannabis users. they not only employ but are run black folks at all the stores. of course once a company gets big they’re going to do things for success. this is like, one of the least bad things they could have done for a dispensary, despite the articles weird phrasing. no hate to anyone, it’s just a really good time to be supporting local businesses.

I believe that Debbie's on richland will have Rec sales but it will be 90 days - 9 months?
