I am so on this boat. The best part about the bill is that if you just grow for your own personal usage, there is no taxation! And the taxes are pretty hefty, I think it's like 150-250 an oz.

Born and raised in the bean....I filled out the info on the norml site and everyone else from mass should to...(if u want it legal)

This is the closest we have ever been to getting the herb legal its damn near time the truth is you get enough people to want something to happen it will push stoners push remember theirs more of us then their is of them in congress i'm sick and godamn tired of our people being affraid of our goverment the goverment should be affraid of its people the damage they have done to us over the years with these bullshit cops that act like little hitlers and take such pleasure in ruining our lives for what smokin some pot for growing some medicine godamnit thinking about it makes my blood boil any of you out their that have done time or had your familys effected by this bullshit war on drugs our time is now our chance is now do you not see it more and more today people are busting cops for their crimes against our people and when i say our people i mean every race that walks this earth its time they learned their not gods their not above the law and were sick and damn tired of them trampleing on our fucking rights that are country was built on Stop the dictator ship put cameras in your homes and cars a kid just recently got a sargent fired by haveing a camera hooked up in his car with a mic the cop was threating him with false charges and how he would ruin his life its time stand up for your country and let those pigs out their that deserve to be tossed in jail feel what they have inflicted on the innocent and the people that have never hurt another person in their life we are not crimanals we are familys we are people that work and have jobs and pay our bills we are the economy we are america

I just read the bill looks like a high tax is right. heres how it is broken down to those who haven't read it or don't want to read it.

Class C One hundred fifty dollar per ounc
Class B Two hundred dollars per ounc
Class A Two hundred fifty dollars per ounce.


All cannabis sold by processors shall be analyzed and graded as follows:
(1) If said cannabis contains more than 1% THC and less than 5% THC, then said cannabis shall be labeled “C”.
(2) If the cannabis contains 5% or more than 5% and less than 10% THC, then said cannabis shall be labeled “B”.
(3) If the cannabis contains 10% THC or more, then said cannabis shall be labeled “A”.

It seems they are trying to keep the prices high to keep retail out of it. But with there being no taxes on growing your own or the not for profit exchange between adults everyone should be growing.

Maybe they're keeping the taxes high to make the bill look better for tax revenue. I read somewhere that there was a provision in the bill about the taxes that said something along the lines of "the tax rate can be adjusted to maintain adequate tax revenue while discouraging the black market sale of the product." Any one else seen/heard that?

Im super happy to hear about another state proposing a marijuana reform bill, but how are they going to analyze all the weed grown by the growers?and keep track of how much each grower is growing exactely? Weed is just too complex these days for some of these giudelines...

Great news. The more states that introduce bills for legalization, the more my state is going to have to mull it over.

I hope it passes !!!

Fingers crossed in the 36 or so states still waiting

Ya the bill says "Subject to approval by the general court, such excise shall be adjusted by the authority from time to time as necessary to maximize the revenue derived therefrom, and to minimize the incentive for the sale of cannabis not in accordance with the provisions of this act."
