Marijuana dispensaries could open by end of year

marijuana_leafLast week The Boston Herald reported medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts could open by the end of the year.   Despite lobbying from those claiming marijuana is a “gateway drug”, last November 63% voters approved legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes. The ballot initiative won in a jaw-dropping 349 out of 351 communities state-wide.

While this might be a divisive position, I would like decriminalization of marijuana and state regulation of this substance. I find far fewer issues associated with marijuana than I do with alcohol and think this would prove to be an excellent source of tax revenue.  What do you think?
