Massachusetts Local Legalization Questions All Winning

by borden, November 07, 2012, 12:57am

There were public policy questions on the ballots of 45 cities in Massachusetts today, asking voters their opinion on marijuana legalization. Boston.com has results for most of them -- all winning.

Winning means that the people have spoken that they'd like (but don't require) their state representatives to vote in favor of legislation to legalize marijuana.

So another congratulations tonight for Massachusetts.

This is too much man. Overload. 

Just too awesome. 

This is history. 

Thank you everyone who worked so hard for this.

The Wall is coming down.

It sounds like reformers in MA are carefully laying the groundwork for a recreational marijuana legalization initiative, if the legislature refuses to act.

A huge step

First, thanks to all that have worked long and hard to make sure that the truth about marijuana reaches the people, the voters. Washington and Colorado have taken a huge step forward with the legalization of marijuana for those 21 and older. There were victories in many other states and cities for medical marijuana and voters spoke loudly in Massachusetts and told their representatives that they support marijuana legalization. Lets continue to show our support in any way we can.
