Ohio votes against Pot Monopoly

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

5. I think it's a slightly different usage of 'monopoly' here.

Technically, I suppose with ten different groups of investors having farms, it would not be considered a monopoly. This was a double tap to 3 - A) if both had passed, it would have gone to the courts to decide whether to kill 3 outright, or simply to kill off the part about it being limited to those 10, and B) if 3 failed, as it did, it would prevent them from putting pretty much the exact same issue on the ballot in the future, forcing them to actually rely more on people actually wanting legal pot, and not simply making another attempt to 'buy' the vote with deep pockets of speculators.

My next question is actually - how does this affect casinos in Ohio? Is it just not retroactive, so it ignores similar limited for profit enterprises already established? Or does it open it up to further casinos to weaken the existing ones?
