Poll: Bay State residents want marijuana laws eased [MA]

Poll: Bay State residents want marijuana laws eased
August 14. 2008 - necn.com



A new poll is out and it says that an overwhelming number of Massachusetts residents want the state to lighten up when it comes to marijuana laws.

It may soon be legal to possess less than an ounce of marijuana in Massachusetts. Voters will decide in November...when question two is put on the ballot.

A Suffolk University/channel seven poll found 74% of those questioned said they support legalizing small amounts of the drug.

And while the reasons behind that choice vary- some say current laws clog courts and jails, waste tax payer money, and that recreational use of the drug does not mean someone will be involved with drugs for life.

Worcester DA Joe Early says it also gives young people the idea that using drugs is ok. According to the Worcester police department there have been 262 arrests for possession of a class D drug, like pot in the city since the beginning of the year - arrests some say should have never been made.

I remember being in DARE when i was much younger and some of the stories they would tell you are not only ridiculous, but completely untrue. One story was that a woman was on LSD and thought her infant was a turkey so she baked it in the oven. Now I look back and think thats hilarious, but at the time I guess it scared me.

Mass has been talking about legalizing small amounts for a few years now, I used to live in worcester and I remember them talking about it then.
Hopefully it goes thru and more states see the light.

i live just north of Worcester. I've been getting all my friends registered to vote. yes on 2! i really hope it passes. the video said it would make it legal...not true, it would just decriminalize it.

Sweet, I'm another MA resident west of the city and praying it passes.  Its a big first step and from the talk going around it sounds like it has a real chance of passing finally.  Next to address sales and growing.

According to the Worcester police department there have been 262 arrests

loox like they have the "wrong" message already and the numbers prove it

the 262 arrests have nothing to do with worcester being a shithole, just kids smoking a little reefer.

i;m glad to see its a binding question this year, good way to get hippies out to vote as well.  Not that it matters in mass.

Also a Mass resident, also will be voting Yes on #2. 

However, I don't put too much stock in the Suffolk University poll.  Seems like whenever a poll is conducted about pot all the stoners get all excited about it and answer.  Whenever you read the comments to a CNN article having to do with pot it's always all the stoners making comments.  I'll be surprised and excited if this passes in November.

I am in the Northshore and have to say i am pleased about this...And I have come to the conclusion after numerious experiments that DA Joe Early is a douche.
