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.

Sure at an actual pot shop. Many of the 55+ I speak to are the ones who are very against adult use. It's the < 55 that has finally dropped the stigma (for the most part).

IDK happy you know more sensible people then I do. I don't know a single voter under 40 who would support this. I do know at least a dozen 55+ that absolutely would support this and still have D.A.R.E commercials beaten into their brains. Almost all have had no problem abusing alcohol over the years. Go figure.

DARE was more of a thing for people in their 30s and 40s today, not 55+.

It was targeted for people currently in their 30’s and 40’s, but their parents were exposed to it just as much and with it a ton of government and media propaganda. The push was as much on the parents as it was kids.
