Divisions are mounting among voters in Massachusetts on the issue of making leisureliness marijuana lawful. States like Washington, Alaska and Colorado have made the use of marijuana legal for recreational purpose. A survey conducted by the Suffolk University/Boston Globe on Saturday showed that 43% of Massachusetts electors wanted to authorise the sale of marijuana to people above the age of 21 while 45.8% opposed the idea of legalising marijuana.
Meanwhile, 11% of voters said that they were unsure. With 4.4% point margin of error, those backers and adversaries of the possible November election question are in a cybernetic tie. But, since the election question was last surveyed, those figures have moved minutely toward adversaries of marijuana authorization. The opponent team was led by Governor Charlie Baker, mayor of Boston Marty Walsh and Attorney General Maura Healey, as reported by Boston.
The survey results of July 2014 poll showed 48% of electors backing marijuana authorization while 47% opposed the motion. The recent survey discovered that over 50% voters supported the idea of legalization. When asked whether people should be able to cultivate their own marijuana, nearly 40% said that people should be able to harvest their personal marijuana, with 50% opposing the belief and about 10% remained silent.
Backers of marijuana authorization wanted the drug to be regulated and taxed in the same way as that of alcohol. They opposed the deceitful way of handling the drug in a dissimilar class than alcohol. But, adversaries feel that authorisation of marijuana could put minor people under risk and also hurt actions to address the opioid hurdle across the region.
Meanwhile, authorities in Victoria proposed a more lenient law enabling dispensaries to operate 200 metres away from schools and also to hold marijuana edibles. THE GLOBE AND MAIL reported that procrastinating the eventual authorisation of marijuana has significances, particularly the furious racing among people competing to sell seed when it is authorized. Some armed forces have stopped arresting people for holding marijuana while the rest round them up in masses. Few cities have strictly controlled the land use for growing marijuana.
CBC stated that many thousands of people in Canada are still viewed as criminals, despite the sanction of marijuana for medical and personal purposes. The federal government has been pledging Canadians to authorize the sale of marijuana from the commencement of Trudeau's election campaign. The stay between the pledge and execution of the rule has formed a moral and lawful quagmire, which is hard to navigate, writes THE PEAK.
There is a great dilemma on the issue of marijuana legalization. Many want the drug to be legalised for medical and personal purposes, while others are anxious about the minor population and argue the effects of the drug on these minors.
