The following report is by Benzinga:
Ohio is now the 24th state in the nation wherein its voters went to the polls on Tuesday and declared a collective “yes” to cannabis legalization. With a majority of the votes counted, various outlets have called the election for legalization a success.
Tipping Point?
We’ve all heard the saying “As Ohio goes, so goes the nation.” This has been true in numerous elections over decades. While the saying traditionally refers to the fact that no Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio, Tuesday’s hands-down cannabis victory is doubtless a positive barometer for national reform.
One might even call Tuesday’s vote a tipping point. Acceptance of legalized adult-use marijuana in Ohio, population 11.7 million, means that more than half of the country now resides in a legal-weed state, having gone from 49.2% of the population to 52.7%.
Women’s Right To Choose
Also on Tuesday’s ballot was Issue 1, which passed overwhelmingly across the state, delivering a major win for Democrats and abortion rights advocates ahead of 2024, reported The Hill.
The victorious proposed constitutional amendment in Ohio guarantees access to abortion and other forms of reproductive healthcare.
Why It Matters: The abortion measure has become one of the highest-profile contests on the ballot this year and is among the most contentious state-level battles since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
What’s In The Cannabis Initiative
Known as Issue 2 and led by the Coalition To Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the initiative would allow adults 21 and over to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and grow up to six plants at home. A 10% tax would be imposed on purchases, with proceeds going to administrative costs, addiction treatment, municipalities with dispensaries and social equity and jobs programs.
As Ohio goes, so goes the nation…who’s next?
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
And the nation has gone down the toilet already, bit bit by bit the nation continues to glorify death, misery, witchcraft, abominations, and all the other adjectives.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Ohio passing Issue 1 allowing abortion to murder up to newborn! What’s next, abortion law allowing to murder up to age 2?
And legalizing pot as the cherry on top of this doo doo sundae.
Alright Ohio and the rest of America: brace yourselves because God’s wrath is going to strike like a baseball bat to a window!
(Total Sarcasm) Now don’t you worry because God is not done with America, God is still blessing this nation, we are a God-fearing country and we’ll have massive revivals and everything will be wonderful and fine and rainbows, flowers, butterflies, cotton candy, and picnics in the park!
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!
America is finished! Now, what’s coming for this nation is going to be absolutely vicious and treacherous!
I live here in Cincinnati in the suburbs, there was a LOT of NO signs on issue 1. Which was nice to see, but it didn’t matter. More evil continues. God will destroy this nation and i believe “terrorist attacks” will be coming soon
I believe so too, Daniel. It could be quote end quote “terrorist attacks” or it could be something far worse: some Russian Strike Fighters deploying to America and attacking several U.S. cities, and what is about to come to America is going to make September 11th seem like a day at Winter Wonderland by comparison!
I’m a little surprised the State of Ohio passed this abortion bill, seeing that it was not so long ago that antiabortion groups were able to get the state to pass a “heartbeat” bill that made it illegal to abort a child when there was already a beating heart inside the womb. What happened?
Here is my take on this:
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
US and Ohio and others love them some broad way.
