Come on Mass people, get out and support 'Question 2' on the ballot with your vote yes so you can stop putting people in jail for possession of an ounce.

"The proposal would replace the criminal penalties for possessing up to one ounce of marijuana with a civil fine of $100."

    Get this passed and the rest of the country is on its way. Kudos to MA to lead the way.

    I live in MA and will be voting yes on Question 2. It's a shame that police waste taxpayers dollars arresting people for possesion of less than an ounce. This vote could be monumental if it passes so to all my fellow Massholes, get out and vote out the 4th of Nov.

    That's great to hear.
