The Next Attack on Legal Marijuana Is Here
- Prohibitionists, backed by over $3 million in dark money from out-of-state groups, are attempting to repeal Massachusetts’ voter-approved cannabis legalization through Question 8.
- Question 8 aims to recriminalize home cannabis cultivation and ban adult-use dispensaries in Massachusetts, making it the first state to reverse legalization by voter initiative.
- NORML is urging urgent donations to fund voter outreach efforts to counter misinformation and defeat Question 8 in Massachusetts.
- If Question 8 is not decisively defeated, prohibitionists plan to launch similar repeal campaigns in other states where marijuana is legal or attempt to keep it illegal elsewhere.
Prohibitionists are spending millions to buy a do-over on legalization.
A deep-pocketed out-of-state group fueled by dark money has poured over $3M into repealing Massachusetts’ voter-approved legalization law. Question 8 seeks to make Massachusetts the first state to recriminalize home cultivation and outlaw adult-use cannabis dispensaries.
Make an urgent donation today to help NORML defeat Question 8. Your support helps fund the voter outreach needed to counter the lies that dark money can buy.
Question 8 is the first repeal prohibitionists have managed to put before voters, but it likely won’t be the last. They’re already setting their sites on other states. Anything short of a spectacular defeat in Massachusetts will all but guarantee the launch of more repeal efforts in other legal states.
Their message is clear: If marijuana is legal in your state, they are coming to target your freedom. And if it is not, they will spend millions to keep you a criminal.
Give now to help NORML mobilize and inform Massachusetts voters. Make Question 8 an expensive, unmistakable failure for prohibitionists, before they choose their next target.
