“That’s what we’re up against here”

Representatives of the state of Massachusetts officially confirmed that Mr initiative to repeal the law legalizing marijuana in this state will appear on the ballot in November.

The Commonwealth Secretary’s Elections Division told organizers Thursday that they had submitted enough valid signatures during the second round of petitions to put the measure before voters, but just barely.

According to state law, election campaigns in Massachusetts must submit signatures in two waves. After the first filing, the Legislature gets a chance to enact proposed ballot measures after organizers file the first round of petitions.

Amsterdam-style lounges with cannabis are still coming to Massachusetts — just much more slowly than many business owners expected.

Six months have passed since the day of the commission on the fight against hemp approved regulations for these businesses. But the cities almost did not pass zoning changes for businesses to move forward – and the commission hasn’t opened up licenses for applications.

Massachusetts High Court Allows Ballot Measure to End Adult-Use Cannabis Sales to Proceed

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled last week that the ballot question seeking to overturn the Commonwealth’s 2016 adult cannabis law will be sent to voters. NBC Boston reports. The proposal was opposed by some participants in the state’s social equity program, who argued that Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s summary of the initiative left out key details and that she should not have certified the measure because it contains unrelated policy sections.

Justice Bessie Dewar, writing for the court, rejected the plaintiff’s arguments and ruled that Campbell “did not err in certifying the petition on any of the grounds asserted and that her summary of the petition is fair.”

“The Attorney General argues that the various parts of the petition all relate to the common goal of restricting the use of recreational marijuana through a new, integrated scheme to regulate marijuana. We agree and are not persuaded by plaintiffs’ arguments to the contrary.” – Dewar, on the decision, via NBC Boston

of final summary endorsed by Campbell says:

The proposed law would also allow persons 21 and older to possess 1 ounce or less of marijuana and no more than 5 grams of marijuana to transfer another gift Person 21 or older 1 ounce or less marijuana, including no more than 5 grams in concentrate form. The proposed law would also impose a $100 civil fine and forfeiture of marijuana for possession of between 1 and 2 grams of marijuana for youths who are 21. less marijuana a civil offense subject to a $100 fine, forfeiture of the marijuana, completion of a drug awareness program, and community service to their parents or legal guardian for the offense and fines The proposed law would allow adult recreational marijuana businesses to currently apply on an expedited medical basis to become their own expedited license The proposed law would retain the Cannabis Control Commission to regulate only the medical marijuana market.

According to a Bay State poll from the University of New Hampshire released in February, a majority – 63% – of Massachusetts residents oppose efforts to end adult sales in the state. The poll found that 20% supported the measure.
