inb4 Massachusetts republicans pass a bill to rig the election in favor of this petition just like how Florida did a similar thing. Florida passed a bill where marijuana ballot initiatives needed a 60% to pass and no one fucking cared.

This is during a non-presidential election which is going to be more right-leaning than a presidential election. The anti marijauna crowd is already extremely ruthless about no compromising on their ideology and should not be underestimated. In most red states they've systematically made it impossible for anyone to consume marijuana and still hold a job that pays a living wage. Most employers care more that their employees aren't using weed off duty than anything else, including skills and even including money. I've been working for nearly a decade to become educated and experienced enough to escape the bible belt so I can someday consume and still be allowed to participate in society. I may never even get there. So when I people being apathetic about this political issue, it makes me really upset.

If this passes, it's going to spearhead a major push to really kick anyone who uses or cares about marijuana out of mainstream society to an even larger degree than what we already live with.

It may never pass fair and square, but it might be close enough that it won't take much election fraud to change that.

Hey, Ohio lets you phrase ballot initiatives however Republicans want
