Tell Us: Should Medical Marijuana Be Legal?

Question 3 on the Nov. ballot will ask about legalizing medical marijuana.

This November voters will be able to cast a vote for or against legalizing medical marijuana in the Commonwealth. 

Those in favor of legalizing medical marijuana have formed the Committee For Compassionate Medicine or "Yes" for Massachusetts Patients, according to WBUR.

The opponents are at MaVoteNoOnQuestion3.com.

Question 3 on the ballot reads: “A yes vote would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana, allowing patients meeting certain conditions to obtain marijuana produced and distributed by new state-regulated centers, or, in specific hardship cases, to grow marijuana for their own use.”

So we want to know: Are you for or against bringing medical marijuana to the state? Let us know in the comments
