We all know marijuana is a gateway drug. You are encouraging this illegal substance by using this mascot. We don't need our young ones high and going around like zombies and ruining their lives You know it is geared to our young children. You mention that in the article by sending Buddie to college campuses. This is disgusting, not creative and exciting as stated. Then it mentions creating 10 marijuana farms. The Enquirer previously mentioned the 10 farms that were bought. This should have been a lottery to keep things fair. ResponsibleOhio is the most irresponsible organization ever.
