MA Pot Laws-smoke em if ya got em

The battle to legalize marijuana took a large step forward on Election day. Michigan became the thirteenth state to legalize the physician supervised possession and use of cannabis. According to early returns, more than 60 percent of Michigan voters decided in favor of Proposal 1, which establishes a state-regulated system regarding the use and cultivation of medical marijuana by qualified patients.

Michigan's new law goes into effect on December 4th, at which time nearly one-quarter of the US population will live in a state that authorizes the legal use of medical cannabis.

Taking the matter further, in Massachusetts, some 65 percent of voters (and virtually every town) decided "yes" on Question 2, which reduces minor marijuana possession to a fine-only offense.

It is expected to become law in 30 days -- making Massachusetts the thirteenth state to decriminalize the personal possession and use of cannabis. This means if you are caught with an ounce or less you can only receive a fine, oh and lose your weed, but no criminal charge. I wonder where the weed goes? I guess we’ll know, if there is an increase in doughnut sales. A similar bill has been held up in Congress, but if passed, would allow possession of up to three ounces. Stay tuned for developing progress.
