The latest Ohio Poll finds that a majority of Ohio voters favor both casino-style gambling and access to medicinal marijuana.
Six in 10 voters surveyed supported legalizing casinos, and 73% agreed that doctors should be able to prescribe marijuana for medical reasons.
The poll also discovered that 61% opposed legalization of marijuana for all adults. Once again, that strange moral dynamic kicks in that says if you're going to smoke marijuana, you'd better not enjoy it! Somehow, most Ohioans believe that allowing the guy in a wheelchair to smoke a joint is perfectly reasonable, but if he passes that same joint to me, I'm a criminal. I'm far too healthy to be allowed to choose what I put in my own body, I suppose.
I don't mean to rain on the medical parade. 73% support for medical marijuana is excellent no matter how you slice it. I just find it odd that the same majority that favors my right to blow my money at the craps table opposes my right to blow a reefer in my living room.
