JOINING THE CONVERSATION ON LEGALIZATION

The conversation about "legalizing" marijuana begins with acceptance 
of the principle that adults possess the right to acquire, 
possess,consume, and cultivate it for their personal use and that of 
their household members and adult guests.

Bay State Repeal is engaged in that conversation. We published on our 
website, to members of the news media and the attorney general our 
first draft of a law that secures to adults their right. It includes 
answers to Mr. Holmes' questions ("The legalization conversation," June 21).

We are refining it based upon feedback directly from citizens, a few 
politicians and the AG's office as we work to construct the least 
restrictive law that focuses on what really matters: suppressing 
access by those not yet adults.
