Marijuana Has Rocked the West Coast, And Now New England Is the Next Frontier for Reform

Excerpts:

New England may be the next frontier for reforming the nation's marijuana laws.

Maine and Rhode Island are moving toward creating a dispensary system for medical marijuana, and Massachusetts decriminalized marijuana in 2008. In Connecticut and Vermont, incoming governors are expected to be much more sympathetic to similar moves than their predecessors were. New Hampshire's legislature passed a medical-marijuana bill this year, but its upper house failed to override a veto by Gov. John Lynch.

........

Last October, a Gallup poll found that 47 percent of Northeasterners supported legalization, the second highest regional level in the nation after the West's 58 percent. More than 60 percent of liberals and people under 30 backed it, but only around 30 percent of Republicans, conservatives, and people over 65 did.

We just need to legalize cannabis already. Our economy is in dire straits right now, people are suffering all over the map, and people are being unjustly persecuted by the federal government and law enforcement for consuming a plant that is scientifically proven to provide numerous medicinal, social and economic benefits! The fact that this is still an issue is sickening! WE NEED TO PROGRESS AS A SOCIETY NOW!!!!
