COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Will Ohio voters on Tuesday make the Buckeye State the first to go from pot prohibition to a fully legalized marijuana industry?

Or will voters say "no" to letting deep-pocketed campaigns secure future profits for themselves in the Ohio Constitution?

Both sides of the debate are confident they'll win, but the final results are difficult to gauge from polls and early voter turnout numbers.

If Ohio voters legalize marijuana, they’ll make Lachey and many others very rich in the process.

Boy-band veteran + legalized marijuana sounds like the kind of unholy mash-up that only happens on the Internet, but it’s actually at the heart of a very real ballot initiative going out to Ohio voters this week—and one that’s not nearly as OMG-hilarious as it sounds. 

Right now, medical marijuana is commonly used to treat nausea, chronic pain, glaucoma and a range of other issues.

But that might not be all that the drug can do. Several studies have uncovered some surprising potential for medicinal pot.

Now, these benefits are by no means tried and true — there's still a lot of research to be done on the actual benefits of marijuana — but they are ripe for future study.

Now that gay marriage is legal, what's next? We liberals need a new movement that will once again put conservatives on the wrong side of history. The LA Timesreports the answer might be marijuana:

The latest sign was the full-throated call last week by Sen. Bernie Sanders to end federal prohibition. With that one move, the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination plunged into uncharted territory — and, arguably, so did the presidential race. Never before has a contender with so much to lose so unequivocally suggested that smoking a joint should be viewed the same as drinking a beer, at least in the eyes of the law.

“Budtender” isn’t exactly the term that many of them prefer to use for themselves. Many of them consider it a tongue and cheek title. Katie, a budtender in Colorado tells us that many budtenders prefer to be called “dispensary agents.” Out of towners seeking a recreational toke smirk at the term every time they hear it according to Mia Jane who blogs about tending buds in Colorado.

Some doctors believe moms with a debilitating pregnancy complication could get relief from smoking pot, but it’s not as simple as that.

In early January 2015, Trinity Dogood started vomiting and couldn’t stop.

“I thought I had food poisoning or an awful stomach bug,” Dogood said. But after three days, the vomiting still hadn’t subsided, and Trinity found herself in the ER of a local hospital, begging for relief.

When the triage nurse took her blood for testing, they discovered she was pregnant.

“I was shocked,” Dogood said. The pregnancy was wanted, but unintentional. Doctors released Dogood and advised her to take more vitamin D and spend time outside to treat what they thought was standard morning sickness.

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who chaired California’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy, endorsed a just-filed weed legalization measure called the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which, as The Chronicle reported Sunday, will be funded by billionaire tech industry investor Sean Parker and other wealthy cannabis supporters.

Walk along the aisles of Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, Earth Fare or health food and supplement specialty stores and you’ll see hemp seeds, hemp protein powder, hemp milk and hemp oil.
