After this past week a lot of people within other states are giving marijuana a real look at. Should it be legalized? They are studying facts and realizing that marijuana prohibition hasn’t and will not work and that it’s time to stop wasting money on it. The voters in Massachusetts are looking at marijuana legalization in 2012. The analysis of the vote on local marijuana legalization advisory ballot question is strongly pointing to a yes from voters.
The state of Mass allows for citizens to place a non-binding local “public policy questions” on the ballot. This year in several precincts, voters weighed in on whether their local representatives should “vote in favor of legislation that would allow the state to regulate and tax marijuana in the same manner as alcohol.” 150,000 votes were cast on the issue across the state in districts containing around 8.5 percent of the total vote. This is what we want as supporters and I think you will start to see more of this. We want representatives that will represent what the people want and that is legalization of marijuana. I suspect we will start seeing more and more candidates that run for the legalization of marijuana due to what happened this week in the polls.
