    I hope she was fired because a weed mascot is a stupid fucking idea. Legalized recreational use should have a sleek, corporatized persona, so non-potheads don’t feel like voting yes is going to turn their state into a patchouli-scented Doritoscape.

      The only weed mascot we potheads need is Chester Cheetah. Too bad he died during the Battle of Cheetos, but his spirit will live on in my orange fingertips.

    Am I the only one who thinks its weird that they have a super-hero theme'd weed mascot? Like I'm sure all the stoners fucking loved it but its not like you're trying to sell kids on the benefits of legalization. Those little fuckers can't vote anyways.

      We live in a age where a new superhero movie with ostensibly adult themes debuts every month; the superhero aspect of the costume makes it kind of unremarkable.

      Speaking as a stoner who lives in Columbus, Ohio: No. We all thought it was stupid as shit. Also, real stoners who care about legalization aren’t voting for Issue 3. It fucks Ohio so hard. It adds an Amendment to our Constitution that only allows 10 pre-approved companies to grow and sell exclusively in Ohio. The same companies that already own the land that’s been approved are the same ones lobbying for Issue 3. Weird, huh? It also makes buying any weed NOT from those 10 companies a felony. So, we’re back to felonies for minor possession. If the Federal law changes, it won’t affect us since it’s in our Constitution that these 10 companies are the only ones allowed to supply Ohioans with marijuana in perpetuity.

    My father gave me some advice on his death bed “Never do anything a talking anthropomorphic bud nugget tells you.” but now I am conflicted.

    What do I do?

      Lawzy, I’m pretty sure the last time I heard that bit of vintage vernacular I was at the Snuggery in Elk Grove Village, the night Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video debuted. Way to date yourself!

    I don’t know about any weed mascot, but I do notice that Jillian Michaels has become the Gawker Media mascot. She annoyingly ubiquitious and cringe-inducingly perky. All she’s missing is the T-shirt cannon.

    This article has a very decidedly pro-issue 3 tone to it. I’d suggest that you dig deeper into what Issue 3 is advocating, which is basically setting up a legal cartel that will horribly monopolize any cultivation and will NOT benefit Ohioans in the long-term whatsoever.

      Slightly off-topic, but is anyone with me on this?

      I love a lot about the Dayton Metro area. The Oregon District (especially Bonnett’s Books, the Trolley Stop Patio, and that dude with the awesome street-side bar-b-q), the Cox network of metro-parks (the Arboretum!), Island Park and Frase Pavilion concerts (Cheryl Crow’s “favorite venue”), the Schuster Center/Neil Gittleman/Dayton Philharmonic, Neon Movies, “strange flat pizza”, indie bands (of every genre) in indie venues, a half-day’s bike ride to wonderful Yellow Springs and Glen Helen, etc, etc, etc...

      BUT, I don’t know if it’s the old “Indian Burial Ground Curse”, but that is one seriously fucked-up town. On so many levels.

      You can actually feel the oppressively bad vibes when air-planing over that general area... Not “goose-bumps-bad-vibes”, but “sick-to-your-stomache-and-deep-feeling-of-dread-while-flying over-bad-vibes”.

      It’s a Stephen King-horror-show-weird damn place, in spite of the fact that it’s a “nearly perfect American metro-area” on paper.

      Anyway, just me and some friends/acquaintances? I’m honestly curious about this.

        Maybe she was fired because she looked more like hops than grass.

          I’m from Ohio and a proponent of issue 3, but whoever thought having a weed mascot during the campaign was a good idea, deserves to get their ass fired! We went through this a couple of decades ago with the tobacco industry and Joe Camel. This stupid fucking mascot gives Issue 3 opponents a ton of ammo.
