Massachusetts
-------
BOSTON - Advocates for decriminalizing marijuana in Massachusetts say they've collected more than enough signatures to get the initiative on next year's ballot.

Supporters say they filed about 105,000 signatures - far more than the 67,000 required.

The ballot question would impose civil, not criminal, penalties on anyone caught with 1 ounce or less of marijuana.

Backers say it would save millions in law enforcement costs and spare thousands from getting a criminal record. Opponents say loosening drug laws sets a bad precedent.
