An association of Massachusetts marijuana businesses is urging voters to tell local officials about any cases of misleading signature gathering tactics and “fraudulent messaging” by a campaign seeking to put an initiative on the ballot next year that would roll back the state’s adult-use legalization law.
The prohibitionist campaign, called the Coalition for a Healthy Massachusetts, said last week that it’s “confident” they turned in enough signatures to qualify for ballot placement. Supporters need 74,574 valid signatures to make the cut.
But the signature gathering hasn’t been without controversy, as there have been allegations piling up that petitioners working on behalf of the campaign have shared misleading information about what the measure would accomplish—with claims that paid petitioners have used fake cover letters for other ballot measures on issues like affordable housing and same-day voter registration. The state attorney general’s office has confirmed it’s received complaints to that end
I’d like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
Seriously, when are these idiot fucking conservatives going to fuck off? Not only does it diminish viable markets for organized crime, but it adds tax revenue while simultaneously providing a safer product for those who choose to indulge. And those who chose to indulge will not be deterred by flip-flopping on recreational legality.
They won’t fuck off. They will have to be eliminated.
