QUESTION 2 BACKER LOOKS FORWARD TO NEXT STEPS

I am a 13-year member of the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform
Coalition/NORML. Question 2 came about because we built a "house" with
19 years of toil, and the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy/
Marijuana Policy Project sold it. A sincere thank you to the voters
who approved. As free people, we are not thrilled with paying a fine,
but we will defend this bill from Beacon Hill tampering. This is both
a momentous occasion, and a baby step. The children are protected, now
the adults will have our day. We are not criminals, and we are sick
of being told that we are. Please refer to the First and 10th
Amendments. Step two will be a medical bill, and beyond, someday, a
national Amsterdam-style distribution and tax system.

The gateway theory? Please! This is, in fact, a smokescreen for
law-enforcement job security.

If anyone is troubled by these events, I would suggest that you move
to Singapore or Thailand, where people like me are executed. Freedom
is normal!
