New Proposal Seeks To Crack Down On Marijuana In Next Year's State Election

BOSTON, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Massachusetts voters could be seeing a question about marijuana’s legalization in next year’s state election. An initiative petition, seeking to clamp down on the state’s cannabis legislation, landed in the attorney general's office last week.

Nineteen groups filed 47 initiative petitions for new proposed laws or constitutional amendments, according to the AG, but “An Act to Restore A Sensible Marijuana Policy” is what appears to be catching citizens’ attention.

“I just don’t believe that that’s a right people should be neglected,” one Belmont resident told WBZ NewsRadio.

The proposal aims to criminalize the possession of more than two ounces of marijuana, repeal laws that regulate recreational marijuana use and people’s right to grow it at home.
