Massachusetts voters will decide in November if legal marijuana will be repealed after a challenge to the proposal was rejected Tuesday.
The State Ballot Law Commission overruled an objection to the petition seeking to end the Bay State’s recreational cannabis law, allowing the proposal to be printed as a question on the ballot.
The commission’s report found that the “Stop the Repeal” campaigners had “not met burden of proof to disqualify enough signatures” to invalidate the initial petition. The Coalition for a Healthy Massachusetts received 12,511 signatures for its repeal petition, “An Act to Restore Sensible Marijuana Policy,” before its July 1 deadline.
