And if anyone thought Democrats would fight them on this, the MA state senate just pushed back the date of legalization in MA to mid-2018. It was supposed to start next month.

They pushed back the opening of dispensaries from Jan 2018 to July 2018, legalization already happened on Dec 15th. I don't even understand how they can pass a law without a certain percentage of the legislature present.

thatd be quorum, and it would most probably be up to someone present to ask the chair for a quorum call and the chair to recognize the motion

It probably takes some time to come up with licensing and taxation and regulation for an entire new industry. Relax lol it is a 6 month delay.

It's the second delay. CO did it within the original timespan determined by the referendum, they did it better than the MA legislature is going to do it (I guarantee), the MA legislature has a history of indefinitely delaying referendum results six months at a time, and have been very public about the fact that they really want to kill it if at all possible and make it as bad as possible if it's not.

It's a a last gasp effort to gently caress people over and nothing less.

I have no idea what it actually is, because there used to be two phases - one where medical marijuana was expanded to be allowed to be sold for recreational use, and a follow-up where recreational stores would be allowed to open. The January 2018 date was the original time when the second was supposed to happen. If pushed to summer 2018, that's the six month delay.

And I'm unclear if the first phase is even happening because the media reporting on this mostly hates legal weed too.

Edit: It looks like the original timeline was medical dispensaries could start selling as soon as February 2017, but weren't required to be allowed until January 2018, and then licensing for recreational stores would start in January 2018. The delay pushes the first to April 2018 and the second until July 2018.

You should engage in meme-war disinformation and photoshop all those representatives to make it look like they are taking fat bong rips and then inundate social media in the area with it.

Probably won't do anything but I bet you at least one of them gets super buttmad about it.

So far? Nothing, beyond vague hints that they intend to step up enforcement in states where it's legal. What will they actually do? Who knows. It's the Trump administration.
