Report: Mass. Senate Misinformed Voters About Marijuana


BOSTON — With less than a month until voters decide whether Massachusetts will legalize, regulate and tax marijuana, the campaign behind the ballot question is pushing back against information that forms the basis of the question's opposition.

Yes on 4, the campaign seeking to legalize marijuana for adults and regulate it the same way the state regulates alcohol, has released a rebuttal to the Special Senate Committee on Marijuana's report from March, which was stocked with warnings about legalization.

Led by Sen. Jason Lewis, members of the Special Senate Committee on Marijuana, including Sen. Michael Rodrigues, D-Westport, traveled to Colorado to see the legal marijuana industry there for themselves and after about a year of research released a report highly critical of the ballot question.

Lewis now is a steering committee member for the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy Massachusetts, the group formed by Gov. Charlie Baker, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and House Speaker Robert DeLeo to oppose legalization.

"The Report covers a wide range of important issues, but however well-intentioned, it is flawed because it contains inaccuracies and speculative conclusions concerning the implications of regulating recreational marijuana," the Yes on 4 campaign wrote in the rebuttal's introduction.
