Mass: Get out and vote for marijuana reform!
Dear MPP Supporter :
November 2, 2010 will be a very eventful night for marijuana reform. Voters in South Dakota and Arizona will vote on medical marijuana initiatives. Oregon voters will be given the opportunity to decide if they want to allow safe and reliable access to medical marijuana by voting for dispensaries. And who can forget California? As you are no doubt aware, California voters will be given the historic opportunity to vote ??yes? on Prop 19, which would allow cities in California to tax, regulate, and control marijuana. Finally, some of the good people of Massachusetts will be asked whether they think marijuana should be treated as a taxed and regulated commodity, much like alcohol, on public policy questions on the ballot around the state.
Thanks to MassCann, many communities across Massachusetts will have public policy questions on the ballot. Some of these questions will ask whether the state senator or representative, or both, should support taxing and regulating marijuana. Some of them will ask if the state senator or representative should support medical marijuana. Although these public policy questions will not change law, they can certainly open the eyes of elected officials so that they will finally see that sensible changes to Massachusetts??s marijuana policy are an important issue to the voters.
Voters in the First Middlesex and the Norfolk state Senate districts, as well as those in the Seventh Essex, Eighth Essex, Third Middlesex, Thirteenth Middlesex, Thirteenth Norfolk, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket, First Franklin, and Third Hampshire House districts will be able to voice their opinions on whether Massachusetts should tax and regulate marijuana. Additionally, many voters across the state will also be able to vote to allow the sick and suffering of Massachusetts to use and possess marijuana without fear of arrest and prosecution, so long as they have their doctor's recommendation. Please see MassCann??s website for more information about these questions. To find out what district you live in, please visit the Massachusetts legislature??s website and enter the required information.
Thank you so much for all your energy and support. And remember, get out and vote!
