*BREAKING NEWS* Bills to LEGALIZE marijuana in Massachusetts - NOT JUST MEDICAL!!!

All it's going to take is one state to legalize and rake in tax dollars for a year or 2 while saving all that cop, judge, lawyer, prison money and all the other states will hop right on that band wagon.

If there's one thing we can count on from our leaders, it's pure unadulterated greed.

He did say No but at least he acknowledged the popularity of the question and that at least means it is being discussed. If the MJ community keep making our thoughts known, more and more people will be talking about it and that is good for us. The more the issue (legal question) is on the news, and other media outlets, the higher the possibility that the politicians will realize that it will not go away and should be put to a vote.

What was that shit he said about people and the internet, like he's shocked weed smokers can read and get online.

Duh, I can't make the little white arrow thingy move around with my bong..... duh.....

I bet we could slay him with eloquent and articulate speech.

I think he was reffering that the internet crowd is just a bunch of highons. I dont understand it. it seems like he thinks that we are not real people or something, but look at the MMJ states it actually takes real people to vote this through so obviously there is enough of us to do things through the actual voting process. So why not take an official vote that counts and let the people decide how to run our country. thats how it is intended, we did not create the gov to tell us what to do we created the gov to make sure that our country is run for the people by the people. they are not there to babysit us. they are there to make sure the people make the choice not the gov.

when will this be voted on????

Its already done. unless they are gonna have another vote.

Did you notice when he said *marijuana* everyone started to look really bashful like they had all simultaneously farted. Everyone chuckles when it is brought up in a serious context. I think that is part of the problem, it is not a laughing matter it is serious.

I was taught in sales that if you ask someone to buy with a laugh they will say "no" with a return laugh. It would have helped if the audience didn't think it was some sort of joke.

when will we find out if it is going to be legalized?

check out www.norml.com and search on there for all of your answers.. they are totally up to date with all marijuana legalization activities

Call me a pessimist but I really don't think these laws are going to work all that well. The bulk of the money in taxes isn't going to roll in until it has some level of commercialization and that won't happen until farmers start growing. While there are federal laws on the books I think that big farms aren't going to touch it.

I really hope i'm wrong though.

we are a democratic republic which means that we vote the government leaders in and they choose how to run the country. we can tell them as much as we want mj legal but the truth is if they dont want it legal they can just laugh and say no. the best thing to do from there is choose a new leader that better suits your needs.

thats how much it is on the westcoast too. that new jersey guy is gettin raped.

About damn time.

i really dont understand why they gonna charge so much in tax. that aint gonna help take it off the streets.

Well its good news at least to see that legalization is being proposed somewhere thats not doing it only because their state is essentially bankrupt (ie California). As far as Federal reform goes, dont hold your breath waiting for Obama to "change" anything. He's already made it clear that the legalization of marijuana (or decriminalization for that matter) is not on his agenda. There was only one presidential candidate that would have actually made any marijuana user's lives easier. He was the candidate with the 100% consistent voting record in regards to personal liberty and freedom who, by the way, is a medical doctor.

Lets hope the these bills gain momentum and support in California and Massachusetts and a ripple effect occurs. In the meantime find a copy of Ron Paul's The Revolution: A Manifesto, read it, and never stop supporting true freedom. And keep smoking

Because mass is a very corrupt state and they dont want to take it of the streets. They still need the drug dealers....Boston Mass has the highest percentage of smokers in the country. They are also some of the most crooked in the country.. Boston, Boulder Score High On Pot Poll

Both college towns, Boston and Boulder, Colo., share another distinction: They lead the nation in marijuana use.

Northwestern Iowa and southern Texas have the lowest use.

For the first time, the government looked at the use of drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and various other substances, legal as well as illegal, by region rather than by state for a report Thursday.

Regions could be as specific as Riverside, Calif., or as broad as all of the state of New York (minus New York City).

i hope massachusetts legalizes marijuana as i live in the boston area

I'm not sure that these two bills will even make it out of their respective committees in Ma. Massachusetts legislatures are notorious cowards when it it comes to dealing with any controversial legislation. I personally wrote both my reps over a month ago on this matter and have yet to recieve a response.
The only way change will happen in this state is to have it placed on a ballot initiative as we did with question 2.

Sweet, now all we need is every state to listen and go along!
