CINCINNATI (Jeff Hirsh) -- Backers of legalized marijuana in Ohio say unionization of the pot farms was OK with them. It probably would not be called "Pot Growers Union, Local 1 but if Ohio voters said yes to legalizing weed, those who control the seed said they will not oppose unions. Mondays announcement July 6, was another part of the campaign for a yes vote on a proposed constitutional amendment in November. Backers said legal marijuana could mean lots of good-paying jobs. But those backers would also make big bucks themselves. The union involved in Monday's announcement was the United Food and Commercial Workers union. UFCW could also stand for (not officially of course) the United Food and Cannabis union if voters approve "Responsible Ohio's" amendment. The union endorses the measure but some very well-to-do individuals are behind it. "I make no apology for that. I'm helping to create a new industry and yes, I will benefit from it. But I think a lot more people will benefit from it," said Woody Taft. Woody Taft is one of the "Responsible Ohio" investors bankrolling the petition drive to get legalized marijuana on the ballot. If the measure passes, Taft and his fellow investors will be the only ones in Ohio who could legally have pot farms. The constitutional amendment limits Ohio to 10 marijuana farms, all controlled by the people financing the ballot initiative. The Butler County farm would be owned by business people Dudley Taft, Woody Taft, singer Nick Lachey and three others; Clermont County media mogul Frank Wood and one other; Hamilton County, businessman William Foster, former Bengal Frostee Rucker and basketball legend Oscar Robertson. Backers said they're acting because Ohio lawmakers have not. Taft and the other local investors said they were not trying to buy a constitutional amendment to enrich themselves. They said it simply takes money to get an issue on the ballot, an issue they said should be decided by the public. "Responsible Ohio" collected more than double the 305,000 petition signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. However, the state Legislature will be putting a competing measure on the ballot; something lawmakers call an anti-monopoly amendment which could potentially block Responsible Ohio's plan to modify the Ohio constitution. If marijuana legalization wins, and the so-called anti-monopoly measure does not, it will clear the way for people in Ohio to grow up to four pot plants at home for personal use as long as it is not for sale.
