According to an article in The Boston Globe last month, a local group called Bay State Repeal is organizing and collecting signatures for a ballot question in 2016 that, if passed, would legalize and regulate recreational marijuana in Massachusetts. A more powerful national group, Marijuana Policy Project, also organized a referendum committee, which is considered a first step in a process that is less than two years away.
Polls indicate that Massachusetts supports such legislation with ballot initiatives in 2008 and again in 2012 approved by 63% of voters. I understand and have heard the arguments against legalizing marijuana, but I still would rather have it regulated and sold legally. What do you think of such an initiative if it is brought to a vote?

I believe that marijuana use should not be legalized but it’s use should be made mandatory.

RI came close – when Edia Ajello was the chair of the house judiciary committee she was ready to move it forward. And then she backed the wrong replacement when Speaker Gordon Fox, the only openly gay speaker I knew of, resigned under a cloud of criminal suspicion.
