Massachusetts legalizes marijuana, kinda
Massachusetts has essentially adopted Amsterdam’s marijuana policy: not exactly legal, but not prosecuted. (Add “and definitely taxed” and you’ll have the Amsterdam policy.)
Just three days ago at that Democratic conclave I was advocating legalizing — and taxing — marijuana. My thinking: With a $42 billion (with a “b”) budget deficit in this state, we need the revenue. And I think I’d sooner take my chances with someone holding a joint, which is illegal, than someone holding an assault rifle (which, naturally, is legal).
