Medical marijuana headed to MA?

If the the results of a poll released by Sulfolk University on Sept 23rd is any indication, the answer is a resounding yes. 81% of respondents (out of 500 polled) were in favor of changing existing MA state law to allow terminally or seriously ill patients to use, grow and purchase marijuana for medical purposes if they have the approval and are under supervision of their physicians. 17% were opposed and 2% were undecided.
Why does this matter? Well unlike question 2 which the voters of MA passed with a rather loud voice (65% in favor) last fall, medical marijuana is currently being debated in the state legislature (their vote, not ours). House Bill 2160 is the one to keep an eye on if this is an issue that’s important to you.
