  Originating from the iHeartMedia Megaplex in Columbus, Ohio, the studios of six to
• 0:08
  ten WTVN. This is the Chuck Douglas Power Our Podcast. Greetings, my
• 0:20
  friends, and welcome to the Chuck Douglas Podcast. You know, sometimes we
• 0:24
  need to look back remember what was said so that we can have those I
• 0:28
  told you so in this case, he told you so messages. And then
• 0:32
  as as we legalize recreational marijuana in the state of Ohio, I brought some
• 0:37
  things up on the show last week, and I brought up, you know,
• 0:41
  the fact that hud vouchers and Section eight those are federal funded. Of
• 0:46
  the people who accept those for rent may not be able to rent to people
• 0:52
  that are getting marijuana, that are buying marijuana, that are going into a
• 0:55
  marijuana database in the state of Ohio. And then then the news comes out
• 0:59
  the Ohio State University says, hey, we accept federal funds and marijuana is
• 1:03
  illegal at the federal level. So there will still even though Ohio has legalized
• 1:07
  it, there will still be no use of marijuana on the Ohio State University
• 1:11
  campus. What about all the other publicly funded colleges and universities around the State
• 1:15
  of Ohio. I'm sure they're going to follow suit with Ohio State University.
• 1:19
  But the I told you soul moment. Just remember what I said on the
• 1:23
  show too. With Ohio has be passed the law to bring legalized recreational marijuana
• 1:30
  into game time, I said, no, don't do it. Don't do
• 1:33
  it. Don't do it. Aside from the fact that I just hate to
• 1:37
  smell that stuff. We were not prepared, We were not ready. There
• 1:42
  was no infrastructure laid out before we did it. We are seeing now the
• 1:49
  results of this. Various public entities, fire departments, police departments, and
• 1:55
  public safety and other municipal departments say we're if you use the recreational marijuana,
• 2:01
  we're not going to employ you. What's a liability thing for them? Bline
• 2:10
  police officer, drub trash truck. Yeah, well, if you go out
• 2:15
  there Stone and put my car in the back of the trash truck instead of
• 2:17
  the green thing, the city's going to be liable. They're not going to
• 2:23
  risk that. They want no liability. So if you go to your government
• 2:28
  approved database store and buy your legal recreational marijuana ding nings, somebody knows and
• 2:36
  you're unemployed. We know that the talk already about firearms, Second Amendment rights
• 2:42
  and so forth. Well, federal law still considers this ain't arcotic. You
• 2:45
  cannot fill out the Federal Firearms Form lawfully and truthfully if you are a user
• 2:53
  of recreational or medicinal marijuana. Because while Ohio may say it's okay, the
• 3:00
  Feds don't say it's okay. Federal money's involved, so nobody's gonna mess with
• 3:05
  it. Now, think about what else is federal money involved with? How
• 3:08
  about Section eight and hudd vouchers. Oh wait a minute, you can't live
• 3:15
  in this government's subsidized housing anymore because you purchased recreational marijuana. Don't you think
• 3:22
  that's a possibility. I certainly do. I certainly do. Why Well,
• 3:30
  because it doesn't make sense with everything else. That's why you put it in
• 3:36
  front of the people. The people approve it, and then you say,
• 3:38
  yeah, but you can't approve it. Now on the local level, State
• 3:43
  of Ohio level, legislature level, the Republicans are being called out, and
• 3:49
  what they want to do is, in a word, stupid. Here's the
• 3:57
  deal. I said, no infrastructure, we didn't make any plan for jobs,
• 4:00
  and whether you can be terminated or whether you can live here or whatever.
• 4:03
  We just legalized it. I thought that was a big mistake. Well,
• 4:05
  now the legislature is screwing around with what the people approved. Among the
• 4:10
  changes, among the changes will be taking the rule you can grow your own
• 4:15
  plants, because right now as it was passed, it was put into laws,
• 4:18
  voted on. It's passed says that you can have up twelve plans at
• 4:21
  the house of you know, six per adult, so you can grow your
• 4:25
  own if you want to put someone in the window box, in the deck
• 4:27
  box, that's what you want to do. This change that they're looking at
• 4:31
  would take that right away. Boom, right there. It's all about money.
• 4:34
  It's all about money. It's not about life, liberty in the pursuit
• 4:39
  of happiness. It's all about money. Will Chook, Well, would you
• 4:43
  say that? Because if you can't grow your own, but you can go
• 4:46
  to a government approved, government taxed, government regulated place and get it,
• 4:53
  why can't you grow your own. I'm not saying have a whole backyard fall,
• 4:57
  but twelve plans? Come on, man. Also, the Senate proposal
• 5:00
  would increase the approved tax, the tax that people already said yes, we're
• 5:02
  willing to pay this will pay the ten percent tax on top of the regular
• 5:06
  sales tax. They will increase that to fifteen percent, but the people voted
• 5:13
  yes on ten percent, again nullifying the will of the people. They are
• 5:20
  forgetting the concept of the representative Republican. Quite frankly, if I were a
• 5:25
  Libertarian in the state of Ohio, I'd be licking my chops right now.
• 5:30
  Republicans, you want to flush the toilet on yourself. Keep moving forward with
• 5:38
  this to silence the people, whether you agree with them or not, is
• 5:46
  exactly the sort of dictator mentality of which you are constantly being accused by the
• 5:50
  left. You want to make it true or do you want to act like
• 5:56
  you have some sense? This is just stupid that the Ohio GOP is just
• 6:02
  man. All they are doing is making themselves look a really, really tyrannical
• 6:06
  and be making Libertarians a very strong possibility for some successful runs in the state
• 6:13
  of Ohio. It's kind of odd because libertarians have alway been that They've been
• 6:15
  associated forever with smoking dope. Oh you're a libertarian? How much smoked you
• 6:20
  dope? I mean, dupe? Do you smoke? You know what I
• 6:24
  mean? Man? That was the whole libertarian thing. Now, wouldn't it
• 6:27
  be ironic that the people of Ohio vote to legalize recreational marijuana, the Republicans
• 6:32
  get involved at the state legislature, and without lifting a finger, the libertarians
• 6:36
  still end up benefiting from legalized marijuana in the state of Ohio. I find
• 6:43
  a certain sick irony to that. The people voted. Let me get let's
• 6:47
  see. Maybe it's not clear enough. Let's try what we try. The
• 6:50
  people have voted, the people have spoken. We the people, you work
• 6:58
  for the people. Here's what we approved. Now just do it. It
• 7:04
  ain't that hard. I don't even agree with it. I didn't want it
• 7:10
  to pass, but it did. And the will of the people the greater
• 7:14
  good. The majority rule is the basis of democracy, and democracy is the
• 7:19
  foundation of our representative republic. Do what the people have chosen to have you
• 7:27
  do on their behalf, which is get out of the way. There you
• 7:30
  have it, don't forget to join me for the Power Hour Monday, Tuesday,
• 7:34
  Wednesday, Thursday, six pm one hour together. So I have to
• 7:38
  talk fast and you have to listen faster. On six' ten WTVN
