I live in MA and made a comment in the legalization thread with a commercial that started to run on tv to vote yes on 4. I loved seeing that.
Sadly the reality is the MA government is making a HUGE fight to keep it from passing. Our lawmakers, Charlie Baker, and Marty Walsh tried to get the measure taken off the ballot but the supreme court overruled as it's 100% constitutionally done. We already have choppers flying everywhere and plants being siezed. But the seizures that make the papers are from elderly residents in their 70s and 80s. I saw the Boston Globe yesterday an 81 year old woman had her plant confiscated. Before that an old man on Martha's vineyard.
I think they want to limit it to indoors for plants. Sadly this has a 50/50 shot at best to pass. I am hoping people get out and vote and pass this. The state/media here has done a good job printing lies and scare tactics and to get people who would normally have voted yes to question and even reverse their stance. I'm praying this passes. Been following it for over a year very closely. What drives me nuts is it's everywhere and the only state they use to compare to is Colorado...funny how their horror stories don't include the other legal states just Colorado which has a different "culture" or way of life than up here in MA. The sky hasn't fallen but with all their negative ads and stories they make it sound like it will
