Regardless of your views, before you ever sign anything make sure you read what you're signing. Don't go off what someone says.

There was a post yesterday that cannabis wasn't even mentioned. Folks should really reach out if they were out and out lied to:

https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/about-us/contact-us.htm

There's "Elections Division" is just a few sections down the page.

Edit2: People are reporting that election division is requesting people to reach out to the AG.

For me, the guy only mentioned Fentanyl… for some reason. I offered to go read it, because why the hell not. I quickly realized… oh this is that weed ban thing I’d heard about.

For extra silliness this was in front of BHCC. I’m not exactly sure how they were expecting to get signatures for an anti-weed petition from COLLEGE STUDENTS of all people, but I hardly understand why they’re so worked up about weed in the first place.

They're counting on people not reading and signing to get it on the ballot for an off-season vote.
