Question 8: Marijuana Legalization Repeal quiz

1 / 5

Should Massachusetts end retail sales of recreational marijuana?

Yes. Close recreational marijuana stores, but keep small amounts legal to have and keep medical marijuana legal.

No. Keep licensed stores selling tested, labeled marijuana to adults 21 and over.

2 / 5

What concerns you more?

Health effects since stores opened, like impaired driving and more teens in the ER with psychiatric conditions.

Marijuana moving back to an unregulated market with no testing, labels or age checks.

3 / 5

Marijuana taxes brought in about $330 million for state and local governments in 2025. How do you see it?

The costs to health care, workplaces and public safety are bigger than the tax money.

Losing that tax money, plus hundreds of businesses and thousands of jobs, would hurt.

4 / 5

Under Question 8, having 1 to 2 ounces would bring a $100 civil fine, and people under 21 would face fines and a drug awareness program. Your view?

That is a fair balance: adults can still have a small amount, but commercial sales stop.

It would pull police back into marijuana enforcement, which has hit communities of color hardest.

5 / 5

Voters legalized recreational sales in 2016. Should that change now?

Yes. Ten years of commercial sales have shown the harms, so it is time to change course.

No. The regulated system works, and a legislative committee found the repeal plan lacks detail on how to wind it down.
