Mass. Court Allows Marijuana Legalization Ballot Issue For Nov.


BOSTON – The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court said in an opinion Wednesday that a proposed ballot question legalizing marijuana can proceed to the November 2016 ballot.

A group of 57 voters, including Westborough's Josephine Hensley as the lead plaintiff, argued in a lawsuit that the court should knock down the question.

They said the ballot question was improperly certified by Attorney General Maura Healey because it contains two unrelated subjects: the legalization of marijuana for adult use and a potential change to the state's medical marijuana treatment centers.

The group also argued the ballot question summary, crafted by Healey's office and used by proponents to gather voter signatures, was unfair because it did not fully explain the ballot question would legalize "hashish" and food products containing THC, also known as marijuana edibles.
