Prohibitionists aren’t just fighting to prevent or repeal marijuana legalization. They’re also trying to take the decision away from voters entirely.
Idaho lawmakers are asking Idahoans to relinquish one of the most fundamental powers they have in a free society: their power to vote.
“These findings are consistent with a growing body of literature suggesting that increased retail availability of legal cannabis does not translate directly into higher rates of youth use.”
“Repealing legal adult use would have devastating impacts on the livelihoods of those who have invested their life savings into their businesses, communities and supporting thousands of jobs. We must vote No on 8.”
“As more physicians, nurses, and others integrate medical cannabis into their clinical practices, it is vital that their requisite medical associations, institutions, and educational curricula similarly incorporate and embrace cannabis as a mainstream and established therapeutic option for patients.”
This campaign is not about promoting the health and safety of Massachusetts residents; it is a trial balloon by a prohibitionist interest group intent upon rolling back legal cannabis markets nationwide.
Question 8 continues to lose voter support as election day approaches.
“Regulation works. States’ real-world experience with adult-use marijuana legalization affirms that it is being implemented in a way that provides regulated access for adults while effectively hindering youth access and misuse.”
