Individual Votes By Cities/Towns Whether To Allow Marijuana businesses (Brockton: high school, safe)

[wror]

Obviously, with a whopping Over 60%, heading toward 70- 80%, of Massachusetts communities voting to Ban local marijuana businesses, MA people have changed their minds and no longer want marijuana legal in the state.

Look for Massachusetts to be first in the nation to make marijuana Illegal in The state again.
Especially when the nightmare bad news starts pouring out of the communities that dumbfoundly are allowing POT stores.

This is another reason why I will support my local farmer and keep money out of the pink turkey necked billionaires fat mouths.

The federal status more or less dictates this - it's an all cash business.

Some people might want legal marijuana but don't want to live next to a marijuana shop. It's more nimbyism then anything. And nimby cluture is strong in Massachusetts.

Wror logic: A city with a decades of high violent crime rates continues to have violent crime post-legalization ... must be POT.

Your inability to navigate facts is truly alarming. Why find the truth when you can make your own truth? Right?

WROR you realize that people in the towns on the South Shore that banned the pot shops will go to Brockton and bring the Pot back to Abington, Whitman and Hanson or where ever and smoke it or eat it there.

Why dont POT users just move to Brockton. Fall on the sword of their convictions POT is such a good thing for a community. Brockton officials have pronounced words to the effect they want to make Brockton a POT capitol of the country. A mecca of "weed". Allow POT stores on every street corner.

If POT businesses are so good and profitable for a community, Brockton is going to be a city of millionaires and the wealthiest community in Massachusetts soon.
Move out of the South Shore towns that banned POT stores, Move to weed heaven Brockton:

Reality: The existing black market will continue to thrive. And a new/different black market will be created.

Don't fool yourself into believing otherwise.

Not if margins drive down. It's not as if a black market persists heavily for alcohol, despite the demand. Anecdotally, it was far harder for me to acquire alcohol underage, despite five liquor vendors in town, than it was to acquire black market marijuana pre de-crim/legalization. Prohibition doesn't work; regulation does.
