Potheads Take No Shit in Massachusetts!

City and town officials across the state are scrambling to pass RE-CRIMINALIZATION BY-LAWS that would make pot smokers criminals again.

Quincy, Framingham, and Milford are already very close to passing these measures. Worcester city counsil was the first to vote on it, we won in Worcester.

Will your town follow? Check out [link to bostonfreedomrally.com] and [link to www.masscann.org] for the latest news!

Tell your town governments to keep marijuana DECRIMINALIZED and not RECRIMINALIZED!

Be there with us this Tuesday Night, 7PM on the streets in front of Quincy City Hall and then inside for the city counsil hearing!

Featuring Mike C, Scott Gacek, Oak Lonetree and Girls4Ganja at 4am in Waltham, Miss Micaela and So Fine Sara.

Quincy City Council:
RECRIMINALIZATION HEARING PROTEST

1305 Hancock St, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169

Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Time: 7:00 - 8:00 pm
By MBTA: Red Line (Braintree Train) to Quincy Center. City Hall is behind the T Station on Hancock Street.

Despite the 63% margin of voters who said "yes" to Question 2, Quincy will be looking to RECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA on Tuesday, January 20, when they meet at 7pm. If they are successful, Quincy will be the first town in Massachusetts to do so since Question 2 passed.

This could open the door to more towns following suit.

Last week, the Worcester city council voted 7-4 AGAINST recriminalizing marijuana. If it is defeated in Quincy, it will show lawmakers across the state that decriminalization was the right choice, and that the voters knew what they were doing when they said "YES." DONT LET YOUR VOICE GET SILENCED BY THE "REEFER MADNESS MENTALITY" OF YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

Come stand with our brothers and sisters in Quincy, and lets end this recriminalization movement now.

In the proper dose and used in the right way many poisons can be effective in treating disease. So I support medical use of the poison cannibis when taken in the proper dose.

Cannabis is not toxic, nor poison for most people. Nobody OD's from it.

 Quoting: Brighton Ma 558567

There are already statutory prohibitions against public smoking. 65% voted yes for a $100 civil fine that's the new law. The new civil law is working fine. Has any of these towns had a problem since this passed? How many people have they fined for smoking in public? Zero. So a law exists, was passed by a landslide, the new law is working but they want to change it? That's not democracy. If they want to change the law, they should at least garner a majority consensus. They don't have that. But we have 65% who voted for a $100 civil fine. I hear where you are coming from but the people voted. If they want to change it run and pass another ballot initiative like we did!

Marijuana weakens the mind and body? News to me and probably every other educated poster out there. Read up on how it stimulates brain cells to grow, repair. How it fights eye disease. How it replaces "every" nerve pill and probably anti-depressent on the market. Allows cancer patients to have an appitite.


The list of "good and benificial" things THC does is almost endless. The list of "bad" things is does, is at -zero-...

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 460393


I took some time to read up on the effects of marijuana and I couldn't find any nonsense about it stimulating brain cells to grow. I did find the following:

Studies show that someone who smokes five joints per day may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as someone who smokes a full pack of cigarettes every day.

People who smoke marijuana often develop the same kinds of breathing problems that cigarette smokers have: coughing and wheezing. They tend to have more chest colds than nonusers. They are also at greater risk of getting lung infections like pneumonia.

Animal studies have found that THC can damage the cells and tissues in the body that help protect people from disease. When the immune cells are weakened, you are more likely to get sick.

Marijuana and the Mind:
Marijuana has been found to affect the brains proper functioning as well as proper mental development of the user. Most notably marijuana affects the motivations of the user by chemically unbalancing the natural functions of the brain. The result can be seen by talking with marijuana users about changing their habit. Marijuana is no big deal, as long as they have it.

Marijuana affects ambition and alters reality. Situations which are really vital to handle are not even seen. One couple addicted to marijuana had smoked through the woman's pregnancy and in the baby's same room during the baby's first year. The baby was under sized, unresponsive, dazed and had not attempted to crawl. Addiction and anti-social behavior later in life is common for babies of marijuana addicts. Despite these bad effects, the marijuana addicted couple had not recognized or acknowledged the affects of marijuana on their baby.

GOOD NEWS!! POT DOESN'T CAUSE PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE!!

Even though there is no evidence that pot causes permanent brain damage, users should be aware that persistent deficits in short-term memory have been noted in chronic, heavy marijuana smokers after 6 to 12 weeks of abstinence.

In an ideal world in an ideal space and time that may occur but it reality; it aint gonna happen.

Besides, it's not up to you or any other schmuck on the planet to decide what is healthy or unhealthy for an individual and I dare say that marijuana is definitely the least of my worries.

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ C.S.

"Marijuana and the Mind:

Psychologists opinions' reflect the consciousness of their era. Give me a definition of "proper" mental functioning we can all accept, and I'll listen. Otherwise, the argument ranks as religion, not science.

"Most notably marijuana affects the motivations of the user by chemically unbalancing the natural functions of the brain."

False. Some % of users have their motivations increased. Simply by getting pain relief for some, for some, they would otherwise be borred and stuck in a situation they don't realize they can get out of, THC gives another perspective if used wisely...
Think of all the people on SSRIs these days, even smoking sessation patients use welbutrin...all of these people are told that their brain chemistry is "unbalanced", but as to how SSRI's DO, they have no idea. There are always people who use things stupidly. Lord protect us all from these people, but alcohol is more socially destructive than da weed, any yet alcohol can be a jolly social lubricant.



"Marijuana affects ambition and alters reality. Situations which are really vital to handle are not even seen."

Define "reality" in a way we can all agree with, and show me that this reality is common to all people but missed by pot smokers...everybody in the store has a different brain and biochemistry and is on different brain effecting drugs, natural and unnatural. Everybody wears "blinders" of some kind. Some people never notice suffering. Some people notice the brand of your suit...I sure don't. I notice that they are assholes.

Punishing people for smoking pot to relieve stress does a lot more harm than the pot smoking.

The lawmakers are the real criminals.

I'm out $15,000 and a lot of stress after alreadt having a nervous breakdown because they say I had "too many plants" in my tiny closet.

Now I have more stress and no medicine to help me cope.
